At Elizabeth's apartment, she tells Jason that she thinks he's healing nicely. They discuss her grandmother. Jason hopes that her taking care of him hasn't cost her too much in her life. She says she won't live her life to please someone else. While Elizabeth sketches, Jason uses a big book as a free weight. Elizabeth thinks he should rest, but Jason wants to regain his strength. She leaves to get him lunch.

At GH, Tony is surprised when Audrey is grouchy. He tells Bobbie that he is feeling nostalgic about playing Santa Claus. She says that she is going to ask if he can be Santa again this year. Later, Audrey asks Bobbie if she is still close to Jason. When Bobbie says yes, Audrey expresses her concern for Elizabeth now that she is "involved" with Jason. Bobbie asks what she means. Audrey says that Elizabeth is sleeping with Jason. Bobbie asks why she thinks that. Audrey replies that she heard Nikolas and Elizabeth talking. She is concerned because Elizabeth has had a rough two years: first the rape, then Lucky's death. Audrey doesn't want Elizabeth with someone who has been in trouble with the law. She alludes to the fact that Bobbie should understand. Bobbie gives a little speech about good men doing wrong things. Of course, Roy arrives while Bobbie tells Audrey that men who have made a mistake deserve a second chance. He interrupts and gives Bobbie that wonderful smile. He explains to Bobbie that he is there to pick up insurance forms. Amy comes along. She says she can't believe that Roy is still alive. Good ol' Amy asks if Bobbie and Roy were "hot" together years ago. Roy gives another wonderful smile. Tony discusses the condition of his patient, who is Roy's friend. When Roy leaves, Tony says to Bobbie "so that's Roy." Bobbie tells him that she has already put in a good word for him to play Santa Claus.

At L&B, Juan sings "Silent Night" as he sweeps. Emily hears him from outside the door. She pauses and listens with a dreamy look on her face. She can see him through the window in the door. She comes inside to listen but he doesn't notice her. Emily tells Juan that he has talent. She wants Ned to hear him sing. Juan says he wants to be admired for himself, not Miguel Morez's son. He wants to be known as a business phenomenon. Juan puts on music and he and Emily dance. Taggert knocks on the door. He comes in and gives Juan a gift for their new apartment. They're moving in after January 1. They say they'll all see one another at the GH Christmas party where Emily is going to be an elf. When Taggert leaves, Juan and Emily are ecstatic because Juan is staying in Port Charles.

At Kelly's, Nikolas asks Tammy where Elizabeth is. Tammy says she has the day off. Nikolas asks Taggert if Jason has been in any trouble recently. Taggert says no, but asks Nikolas to contact him if he hears anything. Nikolas says he's no spy. Taggert reminds him that he took a bullet intended for Jason. Nikolas doesn't owe Jason anything. Later, Tammy gives Elizabeth a bagged lunch and says it's a Jason Morgan Special. Tammy plays dumb and comments that Jason must be out of town because he usually stops in every day for the same food. Nikolas stops Elizabeth on her way out and asks her about Jason. She says she doesn't want another scene. He says he is concerned about her. She tells him to back off, that he doesn't understand. He says that Lucky wouldn't back off. She tells him not to bring up Lucky. She leaves.

At Laura's house, Roy introduces himself to Stefan. Roy leaves after asking Laura when he can move in. Laura tells Stefan that she didn't expect to see him. Stefan asks "when did you decide to have that man live here?" Stefan assumes that Roy is a stranger. Laura informs him that she knew Roy twenty years ago. Stefan doesn't like the idea of Roy living in Laura's house. Laura assures him that Roy is not her boyfriend. Stefan tries to keep his Cassadine cool when he finds out that Roy was in prison and that he was a friend of Luke's. Laura says that she feels partially responsible for Roy's being in prison and she needs the rent money he'll pay. Stefan wants to know if Laura has ruled out starting a life with him. Laura says she still loves him, but hasn't made up her mind about their future. It scares her that she bought into his whole act. Stefan says he didn't try to kill his mother, just "neutralize" her. He justifies doing so by reminding Laura that Helena tormented her family. Later, Lesley is putting candles on Laura's birthday cake, but Laura doesn't want to celebrate. She tells her mother how Stefan didn't understand why she was renting a room to Roy. She needs to fill Lucky's room with life. It's her first Christmas without him. Lesley admires the way she is handling her life, especially the divorce. Nikolas arrives to celebrate his mom's birthday. Laura weeps. Amy arrives and tells how she saw Roy. She asks Laura if she ever had a thing for Roy. Lesley talks about Roy moving in. Laura looks uncomfortable. Amy jokes about having Roy come and live with her. She is obviously intrigued. She says it's their mission to find out all about Roy.

Jason returns to the studio apartment after a walk. He is in pain and has trouble taking his jacket off. Elizabeth comes in with food and a little Christmas tree. She tries to get Jason as enthusiastic about the tree as she is. He asks how it went at Kelly's. She says she ran into Nikolas, but she doesn't want to talk about it. Elizabeth and Jason make paper decorations for the tree. Jason keeps looking at her like he admires her attitude and independence.

Felicia and Luke are kissing passionately. He starts to undress her. She pulls away and says "wait, wait." She says she can't. She has thought about it, but she's never been unfaithful. Luke hugs her. He looks up at the walls and ceiling. Suddenly, he starts kissing her very hard, very aggressively. He whispers to Felicia to put on a show, fight him off. Felicia starts screaming for Luke to stop. Soon, Faison comes in. He points a gun at Luke and says "take your hands off her. Take them off." Luke gets up. Felicia looks frightened. Faison fires a warning shot into the air. Then he points his gun at Luke again. Felicia throws herself in front of Luke and is shot. Luke screams "you bastaaaaard!" As Faison keeps Luke at gunpoint, Mac comes up behind him, puts a gun at his head and tells him not to move. Faison turns around and hits Mac, but our fearless police commissioner overpowers Faison and handcuffs him while Luke carries Felicia out of the room. Mac brings Faison out of the cell where he asks Luke how Felicia is. The camera shows a tv screen where we see the whole scene we just saw and we see that someone is rewinding the tape.
