[birds singing]

LIAM:
So while she's still not awake,

the doctors remain optimistic.

Optimistic about what?
She's been a coma

for two weeks
with no signs of improvement.

They've seen patients in comas

for months
with positive outcomes.

She's gonna be
in a coma for months?

No one said anything

about Fallon being in a coma
for months.

- You just did.
- There's still a trace of infection,

which is what's causing
the swelling around her brain.

But once it clears,
Fallon should wake up.

Now, until then,
the doctor wants us all

just to keep talking to her.

Can she even hear us?

Studies have shown
brain activity

when these patients
hear the voices of loved ones.

Then we will
keep talking to her.

Though I can't get there
till later this afternoon.

Which actually brings me
to my next point.

Right now, the visits are
way too disorganized.

And I don't want her to be
left alone, even for a minute.

So with that in mind,

this chart shows you
when it's your time to visit.

And when you're there, I need
you to share a happy memory.

Okay? About Christmas.

Why does it have
to be about Christmas?

- It's Fallon's favorite holiday.
- BLAKE: Yeah, he's right.

Ever since she asked Santa

for a miniature pony
and got one,

the day has always
been magical to her.

If she only knew
how much Santa had to shell out

to fly that thing
across the country.

Well, you tell her
when she wakes up.

KIRBY:
I can do double shifts.

I don't have a lot
going on right now.

Uh, you promised
you'd help

with holiday decor
at the club. Remember?

Though holiday decorations
seem a little trivial right now.

They're not.

When Fallon wakes up,
she won't be thrilled to know

that you were so pessimistic
about her recovery,

you didn't even bother
to hang a string of lights.

It's more than just "a string of
lights," but I get your point.

Okay, last thing. Now, for
the sake of Fallon Unlimited,

this has to
stay a secret.

So no one talk
to the press, okay?

BLAKE:
I love this time of year.

And the traditions that I grew
up with are alive and well,

and for a couple of days
in December,

the whole world just slows down.

And from what I glimpsed
walking through the front door,

I guess it's true what they say
about a Carrington Christmas.

What, that wretched excess
wrapped in boughs of holly

- is festive?
- Something like that.

I'm the luckiest
man in the world,

to have my family under one roof

in this beautiful house.

I'm surprised to learn that
you have a sentimental side.

Well, you know...

...after Fallon was shot,

I guess this
holiday season

has been a time of reflection.

Not everyone has decades
of happy Christmas memories.

It's something
to be grateful for.

- It certainly is.
- And I suppose

I'm a little bit more emotional
this year

because, well, you know,
the campaign trail

is exhausting, Darlene.

But if that's what it takes
to be senator,

that's what I'll do.

And what does that mean for you?

You know, off
the record...

...there's a-a
cabinet position

in Washington opening up.

2023 will be here
before we know it.

Cabinet position? Interesting.

Do you have a source
on the Hill?

Well, my source
is the White House.

I'm on their radar

for commerce secretary as soon
as the current one steps down,

which is understandable,
given my success in business.

Uh, Mr. Carrington,
with all due respect,

I do have an insider in D.C.,

and that position has already
been promised to someone.

And it's not you.

Maybe you should check again
with your sources.

I have.

With multiple sources.

I also have a name,
if you'd like to hear it.

No. I'm good.

ALEXIS:
How's Fallon?

What did the doctor say?

He's optimistic,
which means you should be, too.

Optimism is hard to come by
when my daughter is in a coma

and I'm stuck in this hellhole.

Well, I tried
to get you out

on compassionate leave
to see her,

but the request was denied.

I'm not surprised.

The police have made up
their mind.

- I'm guilty!
- Okay, maybe we don't

shout that for everyone to hear.

They're not even looking
for the real killer.

All they care about
is the attention they'll get

when they convict Atlanta's
hottest socialite for murder.

I wonder
who will play me

in the Lifetime movie.

Maybe a young Sharon Stone?

I think you're getting ahead
- of yourself.
- Really?

Is that why I'm hearing rumors

the DA is going
to offer me a plea deal?

DAs deal in rumors.
It's a ploy to make you talk,

which you absolutely
should not do.

I have
nothing to say.

And I need your help
if I'm going to be home

in time for Christmas.

Christmas
is the one day

of the year
everyone is nice to me.

After Blake banished me,
I thought I would never

unwrap a shiny bauble from
Fallon or Steven ever again.

And my first Christmas
back in Atlanta,

Fallon bought me
one of everything

from the Neiman Marcus catalog.

How thoughtful.

And wasteful.

Anyway...
[clears throat]

That is a list of everyone
who wants me locked up.

I need you to see
if these people have

an alibi for that night.

Is this a list of everyone
you've ever met?

Small people nurse grudges,

and I know
a lot of small people.

So, you'll help?

Of course.

And I know just the small person
to start with.

I have the paperwork, the lawyer
and a shiny gold pen.

All you need is Brady to sign,
and you're single.

Single and keeping
every hard-earned dollar

in my bank account.

I've been doing
this a long time.

Not many people would waive
their rights to millions.

He knows better
than to put up a fight.

He's also 15 minutes late.

Oh, I'm sure he's on his way.

[line ringing]

MARCO [over phone]:
I've been waiting for your call.

Hello? Who is this?

I'm looking for Brady.
I think I have the wrong number.

No, this is the right number.

I'm a friend of your husband.

He owes me a lot of money,
which you are gonna pay me.

So if you ever want to see Brady
alive again,

you're gonna need to do
exactly as I say.

Wait till you see the manor.

I mean, Blake has outdone
himself this year.

I think I saw a snow machine
pulling up when I left.

Hey, you'll see it for yourself
when you come home.

There's so many things
I want to tell you

when you wake up, Fallon.

Like how I forgive you.

And how we can just put
all that Colin stuff behind us.

We shouldn't have fought
about any of this.

People make mistakes.

[knocks on door]
STOUGHTON:
Hey.

- You hanging in there?
- I'm not sure.

You know, if I stare at her
long enough,

I swear I can see
her eyes flutter.

Can I ask you a question,
Dr. Stoughton?

Yeah, of course.

Fallon and I were

in a pretty heated argument
when she collapsed.

Could that
have caused this?

No.

Fallon's in a coma
because she has

a severe infection,
and we are fighting it

with everything we've got.

You had nothing to do with this.

[monitor beeping]
What's that?
S-Should I get a nurse?

No. No, no, it's
just the batteries

on the pulse oximeter
are running low.

I'll let the nurse know

to replace them
so it stops happening.

You know, you
need to relax,

or you're gonna have
a heart attack, okay?

You need to stay strong.
For both of you.

- Thank you.
- All right. I'll be back.

Listen to me, Fallon.

I know you can hear me.

I am gonna do whatever it takes
to get you out of here.

We are not spending Christmas
in a hospital room.

I promise.

♪

It's the guys who were
after Brady in New York.

The ones he owed money to.
They're holding him hostage

and won't let him go
unless I pay them off.

Wow, Brady just finds new ways
to surprise you, doesn't he?

They want $500,000.

500 grand?
What the hell was he doing?

I didn't ask questions.

The guy's life
is in danger.

If they kill him, and I didn't
at least try to help?

Well, if they're smart,
they won't kill him,

because then they wouldn't
get any money.

Help me understand

why you can't walk away.

Brady's done some bad things,

but he doesn't deserve
to die for this.

So I am going to help him,
with or without your help.

Hopefully with.

Okay, now, I know this might
just look like a plant,

but gotu kola is also
a medicinal herb.

Now, according to the Internet,
it can help boost

cognitive function.

Yes, I know that the Internet
can be wrong.

I can feel you rolling
your eyes right now.

You're staring at a plant.

Like, really hard.

Yeah.

I'm here for my visit.

Ah. Sorry.

[laughs softly]

You won't believe
the day I've had.

Happy memories, Kirby,
not complaints.

Right. Happy memories.
[laughs softly]

Hi, Fallon.

So, it's me. Kirby.

Anyway...

do you remember that Christmas
a few years ago?

It was the time
Blake gave himself a Rolex

and he got you
a fancy blowout kit.

And I got these earrings.

The truth is,

I switched the gift tags
when no one was looking,

because I thought your gift
would be better than mine.

Turns out I was right.

Sorry. Th-- Wow,
I feel much better.

That's the memory that you think
could wake Fallon up?

Do you not have Christmas
in Australia?

Growing up, Christmas was
a fresh start in my family.

For a few days, no one fought
and all was forgiven.

And since Fallon is
so full of spite,

I thought that if
I pissed her off enough,

she would wake up out of anger.

Then forgive me
for the earrings.

Weirdly,
that does make some sense.

MICHAEL:I really wish you had been
clearer about the fact

that you were
getting a tree.

I was clear. I texted you.

You texted me "We need a tree."

Exactly. Clearly that meant

I was gonna get a tree,
because everyone knows

you can't plan your theme
until your tree is decorated.

You know what?

Have your tree. Have both trees.

I don't care.
I have more important things

to deal with than all of this.

Great. Like I've always said,
two trees are better than one.

[chuckles]

Don't you think
Fallon's gonna love this?

[music playing over stereo]

My grandson's here
with my figgy pudding.

Uh, could you take Dottie
back to her room?

She's, uh,
- she's a little confused.
- Of course.

[grunts softly]

I know that the 911 call
reporting Bobby Larson's murder

wasn't made outside
of Alexis's penthouse.

It was made outside of
La Mirage, which means

that the murder could have
easily happened before 6:30.

Wow, you're like
a-a British Nancy Drew,

except older and dowdier.

Okay, well, I've shared that
information with the police.

And you're telling me this why?

Well, 'cause I also shared
with them your involvement

with Bobby Larson over that
whole anti-aging drug fiasco.

Which proves that you're
the one with the motive.

Actually, I think the detectives

should be here soon
to, uh, interview you.

All right, well,
I have nothing to hide, so...

Oh, you have an alibi?

Tell me something,
Dame Judy Wench,

why are you so hell-bent on
trying to pin this murder on me?

I just want to get our mother
out of jail, don't you?

Have you thought for a second

that Alexis actually
might be guilty?

You know, I've encountered
a lot of guilty people

in my line of work,
and they all kind of have

a similar look that I've got
quite good at recognizing.

Of course, if you have proof
that you weren't

at Alexis's penthouse
that night,

you should have nothing
to worry about.

Then I don't have anything
to worry about.

Uh, I am going to go,

because I do have
patients to worry about.

CRISTAL:
I'm worried.

I just found out that no one
has seen Beto in Mexico,

or heard from him
since he left Atlanta.

Maybe cutting him off
from the company was too harsh.

After what he did to you,
I couldn't care less

if he went
on a three-week bender

and he's laying
in a sewer somewhere.

Do you remember
that reporter

at PPA that asked me
about the cabinet position?

Sounds familiar. What about her?

Well, apparently,
none of that was true.

The White House
already has a candidate

for commerce and it is not me.

- How do you know?
- I made some phone calls, all right?

We need to find that reporter,
ask her who her source was

and then kill that person.

And then
sue the channel

for gross defamation,
then maybe circle back around

to the reporter
and murder her, too.

Oh, honey, I'm-I'm not
really gonna kill someone.

I just need to find out
what the truth is.

- You're doing that thing.
- What thing?

That thing,
where you look to the right

and you bite your lip when you
don't want to tell me something.

No, I'm not.
And I don't do that.

Just tell me. I know you're
gonna tell me eventually,

so let's just save us some time.

Fine.

I paid that reporter to ask you
about the cabinet position

- so you would stay in the race.
- What?

Honey, we're supposed
to be a team,

and you went behind my back?

Only because I knew
you could win,

and I didn't want
you to drop out.

So there is no cabinet position
in my future,

and you ruined my best chance

at getting the land
for the airport.

The lieutenant governor
was handing it to me.

You are still in the lead.

Blake, please.

Say something.

Oh, you know what? I'm gonna go.

Before I say something I regret.

This is definitely not

the most wonderful time
of the year so far.

Hello?

A little help?

You look like you got it.

Ooh.

What are you doing? Sudoku?

Paperwork.

You gave your bar manager
the week off, remember?

Oh, that's right. I really am
great with the Christmas spirit.

What is all this?

Nativity sets,
gold-leaf garland, snow globes.

What are you planning to do
with all of it?

Hello?
We are on decorating duty.

Anyway, you know
I'm all about

over-the-top, but I can't get
over the top by myself.

I need your help.

What are you talking about?

Just please help me
decorate the club.

- What about Kirby?
- She doesn't work here anymore.

And she doesn't have an eye
for decorating like you do.

Your flocked white pine was...
[sighs] ...perfection.

You're on your own.

Look, decorating The Sahara Club
was not on my to-do list today.

I don't know why you're being
such a Scrooge,

but it is not a good
look on you, buddy.

Not a good look.

Dr. Waldenburg, hey.

Do you remember me taking
notes in the observation room

during a surgery you brilliantly
performed on the 15th?

I'm flattered, I do recall
I was brilliant on the 15th,

but I don't recall
you being there.

Okay, I was considering
promoting you

to head of surgical.

But I need someone
with a good memory,

i-if you catch my drift.

[stammers]

Hold that thought.

Hey, hey, Dr. P-- uh, Park.

Hey, oh--
We're both busy surgeons,

so I'm just gonna
cut to the chase.

If somebody asks
where I was

on the 15th
between 5:00 and 6:30,

I was right here, understood?

The 15th?

But I wasn't in the hospital
on the 15th.

Oh, no, where were you?

Hiding in a hotel room
with your scrub nurse?

Dating a subordinate
is grounds for firing.

However... However, uh, if both parties
sign a consent form,

they're protected, so I'll
email you one, Doctor.

Dr. Carrington, are you
aware of the new policy?

Dr. Waldenburg?

HR and legal,

we reviews all
promotions. Sorry.

Bribing people for alibis?

[tongue clicks] Wow,
it's just not a great

or innocent look.

I guess you're just
not as memorable

as you thought you were.

Who are we cornering next?

Well, I don't know
who Alexis's plastic surgeon is

these days,
but I got to hand it to the guy.

She doesn't look anything
like the woman I married.

I read that photos of
loved ones can, uh,

elicit an emotional response

that might help coma
patients wake up.

Did you also read how
they're supposed to see them?

Well, it's even just the feeling
of being surrounded by love

that can help.

Hey, I-I appreciate the effort.

[exhales]
Hi, Fallon.

I know
you're gonna wake up.

We have too many Christmas
traditions to continue, right?

Like handing the staff
their bonus checks together,

dressing Bo
in Christmas sweaters

for the annual Christmas card.

Anyway, my
favorite tradition

is the one we restarted
a few years ago,

just the two of us.

[engine stops]

[grunts]
The Carrington backwoods, huh?

This is where we find
the perfect tree.

Our own land.
A real Carrington tree.

There's also a huge
Christmas tree lot

right across the street
from your office.

Which is basically the same
thing and less freezing.

It's not about comfort, it's
about carrying on a tradition.

You've said "tradition"
so many times I feel like

I'm watching
Fiddler on the Roof.

The Carrington tradition
of cutting down a tree

was started by my father
when I was young.

And it means a lot that you've
agreed to continue it with me.

Anything to get out
of wrapping gifts

with Steven for Toys for Tots.

Well, I invited him
to come with us,

but he said
we'd be hurting nature,

and he refused
to be a part of tree-a-cide.

So, what exactly
are we looking for?

I have one simple rule:
think big.

Specifically,
bigger than Warren Buffet's.

His tree seemed to take up
the entire background

of his annual MSNBC interview.

Mm.

That was obnoxious.

This is the one.

Whoa-- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I didn't realize you meant

you were gonna
chop it down yourself,

because I'm looking at you
and all I see

is The Christmas
Chain Saw Massacre.

- Trust me, it'll be fine.
- No, Dad, wait.

Let's call Tony the gardener.

I mean, he's younger,
he's-he's stronger.

He's more handy.

Blake Carrington does
not let another man

chop down his Christmas tree.

[engine roars]

Oh, crap.

Run!

[car alarm sounding]

Okay, maybe it wasn't
my finest hour,

although I am glad
I spent it with you.

You warned me not to cut down
that tree,

but I let my ego get in the way.

Yeah, I blamed the wind
and the tree,

the chain saw,
everything but myself.

And the truth is,
it was... it was all me.

[exhales]

And apparently I haven't changed
as much as I thought.

Anyway, thank you

for sticking with the
"valet crashed my car" story.

I haven't told you this
often enough,

but I am proud of the woman
that you have become.

And your future
is too bright to give up on

and we have too much
to do together.

So many more traditions
to start.

So, um...

[exhales]

...you keep fighting.

Please.

Put the money on the bench.

Let him go.

Get him.

MAN:
Looks right.

Let's just get out of here
before they change their minds.

Well, there's one thing
we agree on.

I thought you had a plan.

You're going to just let them
walk away with my money?

Go get them.

Watch it, old man.

FBI! Everybody...[siren wailing]

- AGENT: Don't do anything stupid!
- All right, all right.

[indistinct shouting]

You set them up.

[handcuffs clicking]

Why didn't you tell me?

'Cause I needed
- you to act scared.
- How did you even...

I still have some friends
in law enforcement.

Don't bother thanking me.
I didn't do this for you.

Thanks, Detective.
- The exit's that way.
- Thank you.

I'll be right back.

Why did the detective
just leave?

Why aren't you being marched
out of here with handcuffs?

Because he knows I was here
and I have an alibi to prove it.

Oh, so you lied
to the detective?

You do realize
that's also illegal?

Why would I lie when the truth
will set me free?

See, the night
that Dr. Larson died

was be the night
before Dottie's surgery.

She's one of my
favorite patients,

she was feeling
nervous, so I,

I took her for a walk
around the hospital grounds

just to calm her nerves.

Dottie confirmed this
with the detective and,

I don't know, he was satisfied.

So they believed

a post-surgical old woman
whose memory

is probably still foggy
from the anesthesia?

- I thought you were a lawyer.
- I am a lawyer.

Then stop being so judgy.

Aging is a beautiful thing.

[laughs softly]
And according

to her medical records, Dottie
has excellent neuro function.

I made sure of that.

- How did I do?
- Oh, you did great.

And you know
what it's time for now?

[gasps]
Pudding.

[laughs]:
Pudding.

BLAKE:
This is beautiful.

I'm sorry I got upset
and I yelled at you.

Cristal, I don't want to
fight with you anymore.

Besides, it's not like
you're blameless here.

Thank you.
I'll take it from here.

I am sorry for planting
the idea with the reporter.

But I wanted you
to stay in the race,

and I knew your ego
wouldn't be able

to resist a cabinet position possibility.

Well, you are right about that.

I had a long talk
with Fallon earlier.

It was a-a one-sided
conversation, but, um...

I realized that my ego
has gotten in the way before,

with disastrous results.
[chuckles]

This may surprise you,
but your big ego

is one of the things
I love the most about you.

Many people find it charming.

If I'm being honest,

I've lost my taste
for becoming a senator.

All this man of the people BS?

It's just not, it's not me.

I think I was blinded

by my trying to secure
the land for the airport.

So now what?

Well, I'm-I'm dropping
out of the race.

If that makes you happy,
I support you.

Being in the lead,
you'll be able

to get an even better deal

from that lieutenant governor.

I like the way you think.

[laughs]

Mmm.

One more thing.

I'm sorry I steamrolled
your worries about Beto.

He's still your brother.

Oh, I'm not worried anymore.

Beto was seen getting
on a plane to the Bahamas.

I think a vacation
will be good for him.

Have you left this spot?

Did you not hear
what I said before?

I did, but I'm trying
to ignore the fact

that you're Grinching out
so hard.

What is wrong with you?
You're ignoring me.

Wait, are you mad at me?
I didn't do anything.

It's Fallon.

I can't pretend to care
about decorations

while she's lying
in a hospital bed unconscious.

She's always seemed indestructible,

- since I've known her.
- Yeah, I know how you feel.

I feel the same way.

I haven't even gone to see her.

Neither have I.

It would just make it too... Too real.

I think we're just dealing
with the same feelings

in different ways.

Why else would I be
decorating the club

with the mania
of Martha Stewart?

Because you're you?

Okay, yeah.

But I am also

trying whatever I can

to keep my mind off Fallon.

Maybe you should try helping?

Because sitting
here worrying

clearly isn't doing it for you.

ALEXIS:
So how did it go?

I spoke to all the people
on your list,

and everyone has an alibi.

Everyone? I was sure

Mimi Rose Prescott
was still harboring a grudge

from the time I ran her over.

Okay, well, I don't want to know
anything about that.

Look, I am going to find out
who's responsible

for Dr. Larson's murder, okay?

I promise you,
I am not giving up.

That makes one of us.
I'm going to see

what the terms
of the plea deal are.

Everyone in my family
already thinks I'm guilty.

Hey. Not everyone.

Funny how life turns out,
isn't it?

I always dreamed

that I would host Christmas
with my children,

eventually my grandchildren,
in my marvelous penthouse.

And now I will
be spending

all of my Christmases
behind bars.

♪ I'll be home

♪ For Christmas

♪ You can count

♪ On me

♪ Please have snow

♪ And mistletoe

♪ And presents

♪ 'Round the tree

♪ Christmas Eve will

♪ Find me

♪ Where the love light

♪ Gleams

♪ I'll be home

♪ For Christmas

♪ If only

♪ In my

♪ Dreams.

That was amazing.

You said dinner
last night was amazing.

You also said
that Christmas tree

made out of doughnuts
at the bakery was amazing.

I thought you were
supposed to be a writer.

Dinner was delicious.

[laughs]
And that Christmas tree

was insane.

But being alone with you
is more than amazing.

This is the best Christmas
I've had in a long time.

Better than the Christmas
where your mom

threw a buttered rum
at your father?

Because that one sounds
hard to top.

Okay, can I open my present now?

I mean, I've been
looking everywhere.

Where did you hide it?

Wait, you...

you told me
we weren't doing presents.

Very funny.

Are you kidding?

Because one of us isn't.
I'm pretty sure it's me.

No, I'm not kidding.

When your girlfriend says
you're not doing presents,

it doesn't mean you're
not doing presents.

It just means
not a lot of them.

I mean, what were you thinking?

I was listening to you.

Well, what I say
and what I mean

are almost always
two different things.

That's good to know.

Without gifts, how else
can I quantify your love for me?

Fallon, this doesn't mean
that I don't love you.

This means that
I don't play games

when it comes to the things
that are important to me.

Maybe you should do the same.

[exhales]

Fine.

You're right.

It's Christmas.

And I don't want to spoil it
by fighting with you.

So if you say you're sorry,
I'll forgive you.

I'm sorry.

Trust me, I don't want
to fight like this ever again.

Then let's not.

You're forgiven.

Now, that was amazing.

LIAM:
I meant it when I said that
was the best Christmas ever.

Even with the fighting.

My mom didn't really care
about the holidays.

We never even got a tree
half the time.

I spent my childhood asking
for a BMX bike every year.

But instead all I got
was a few million shares

of some new company
for my investment portfolio.

Which, yeah,
sounds great, but...

...I think she still has
control over that account.

I should have realized that you
really did want a present.

And I think I just realized that

I don't want you to wake up
so I can forgive you.

I need you to wake up
so you can forgive me.

For believing Eva.

And after that I want to spend
every Christmas with you.

[chuckles]:
Until we're so old that
we can't even open presents.

But that day is not today.

I, uh, I got you something.

[music box playing
"I'll Be Home for Christmas"]

That's all I want
for Christmas, Fallon.

Is for you to be home.

[Stoughton clears throat]

[softly]:
Hi.

Um, I got Fallon's latest
blood work results back.

And, um, the good news is,
there's no sign of infection.

The, um, the bad news
is that we were hoping,

when the infection cleared up,

that the inflammation
would go down and she'd wake up.

Okay, um...

Uh, so what are you saying?

When will she wake up?

I can't give you a timeline
on that,

because I don't know.

I'm sorry.

These papers are going straight
to the court to be filed.

Of course.
You'll hear no protest from me.

I want this done
as much as you do.

Not as much, trust me.

I guess he and I aren't gonna
be bonding anytime soon.

What a brilliant observation.

You've clearly lost

your moral compass,
if you ever even had one.

I saved your life today
because I'm a decent person.

So, you're welcome.

Come on, Dominique,
we've been through so much.

Is this how our story ends?

Because I don't feel
like this is goodbye.

That's where
you're wrong, again.

You lied to me.
I can't trust you.

Which I always knew, all along.

So, yes, it is
goodbye, forever.

If you know what's
good for you.

JEFF:
If you ever show up

in Atlanta again,
it'll be the last time

you feel that warm
Southern sun on your face.

Champagne?

Feels like more
of a Scotch moment.

I was almost conned
by Alexis and Brady,

I was in an FBI sting,
just got divorced.

Is it weird

that I think
this is a fabulous Christmas?

It's not where I thought
you were going.

Brady's out of my life,
you're healthy again,

and we're in a good place.

We're partners.

A toast to us.
We've come a long way.

It took some time,
but we got here.

So, Fallon's progress
is stalled.

And there's
no indication

when she'll wake up.

But it doesn't seem likely
to happen by Christmas.

You mean, your miracle plant
didn't work?

CRISTAL:Blake, this isn't
Liam's fault.

Yeah, I know. She
has the best doctors.

There's a wing of this hospital
with our name on it.

Someone should be
doing something.

CRISTAL:She's getting
24-hour care.

JEFF:
She's right.

This is the best place
for her to be.

We're not losing hope.

Since the paparazzi
love to snap photos

of Fallon during her annual
Christmas shopping spree,

this year we will put
out a press release

that instead of gifts,
Fallon will be donating

a year's salary to charity.

- I can take care of that.
- Thank you.

Jeff, you think you can put
out a story in Hot Tea Atlanta

that Fallon and I were seen
in Fiji frolicking in the waves,

and she's clearly recovered
from her gunshot wound?

I'm sure there's plenty
of stock footage of Fallon

in that exact scenario.

Thank you.

Okay. I think we're covered.

We need you back, Fallon.
And that's an order.

[high-pitched whirring]

Hi. Hi, security?
Yeah, this is Amanda Carrington.

Um, I've just seen a drone
flying by,

and it looked like
it was recording.

SECURITY:
Yeah, it flies by every night
around this same time.

Every night?

Yep, for the past month.

Some kind of Peeping Tom.

We haven't been able to track
where it's coming from,

but we'll continue to monitor.

Thank you. Um, and if you
could just let me know

when you have that information.

There may be some footage
on there that I need.

Sure thing.
Have a good night, ma'am.

What the hell
is going on in here?

Have you two
lost your minds?

Fallon is in a coma
and you've decorated in here

like Santa on LSD.

Thank you.

Was that a compliment?

I'm taking it as a compliment.

It's pretty magical, isn't it?

I already feel dizzy.

We're hoping some
of the Christmas magic from here

can make its way
to Fallon's hospital room.

If we carry on as though
things are normal,

maybe they will be normal.

This isn't normal.

You haven't even seen
the best part.

[clicks]

♪ O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree... ♪

[music stops]

I know you've been
avoiding visiting Fallon.

But I think it's time
for you to go to the hospital.

Hey, Fallon. How are you?

What? I don't know
what to say.

We're sorry for
not coming sooner.

We are.

I am.

But we've been
talking about you a lot.

And the Sahara Club
looks festive.

I think you would love it.

We're gonna leave the
decorations up for you to see

when you get up.

SAM:
So I hope that's soon,
because, you know,

I-I hate seeing
Christmas decorations

on the first week
of January, so...

I wonder if she
can hear us.

MICHAEL:
I think so.

We just wanted to say hi.

We'll be back later, okay?
[sniffles]

So, sleep tight, sweet dreams.

Can you say that
to someone in a coma?

When they said a family member
was here,

I assumed it was one
of my children.

I didn't realize that included
my former mother-in-law

turned Muppet.[laughs softly]

I see they don't let you wash
your hair extensions in here.

If you came to exchange barbs,
I'm not in the mood.

That's fine. I have a lot
of Christmas shopping to do.

I'll keep the visit short.

I just wanted to see what
rock bottom looked like for you.

- Happy?
- Delighted.

Oh, and your plan with Brady
to screw me out of my fortune?

[tongue clicks]

It didn't pan out.

It's a shame he got caught
in your web,

but he's been dealt with.

It must have come
as quite a shock to learn

he had no problem
selling you out.

Not really, and I've moved on.

And after a good night's sleep
on my 2,000 thread count sheets,

I'll awake refreshed
and ready to celebrate

the holidays with my family.

And if you ever do
get out of here,

you better not cross me again,
or I'll make you pay for it.

Guard? Help.

There's a crazy lady here
and she's threatening my life.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Since you won't be receiving
any Christmas gifts,

except a healthy helping
of gruel,

I brought you something.

It's a calendar.

To mark off your
days behind bars.

♪ It's only Christmas
once a year ♪

♪ So gather 'round the tree

♪ I'll pour you a cup of cheer

♪ Please wear a smile for me

♪ I'm counting on my fingers

♪ All the days
till you'll be here ♪

♪ Please say that you're
coming home... ♪

Don't forget this.

I thought we decided
we weren't buying this for him.

I couldn't help it.
I knew how much he wanted it.

Okay, well, we're gonna have
a very happy and lethal

- little boy tomorrow.
- I'll tell him

he can't shoot at the staff.

Only his grandpa.[chuckles]

Looks like his sister got
everything on her list and more.

Well, yeah, it's a Carrington
family tradition.

Just wait until she asks
for a pony.

[laughs]

Did you ever think that watching
our kids open presents

would be the best part
of Christmas?

What about watching me
open presents?

Don't worry, I will never make
that mistake again.

You have plenty.

Our life is pretty amazing.

It's better than I dreamed
it would be.

And you know I dream big.

What is that light?

Just keep going toward it.

♪ Gather all your
loved ones... ♪

It's fine.
Just go to the light, Fallon.

Here, Kirby. This is for you.

I don't forgive you for
stealing those earrings,

but they're out of
style now anyway.

You heard me confess?

Oh, I did. I heard a lot.

And I can't wait to see how you
decked out the Sahara Club.

Well, Culhane did help,
but only like 20%.

And I heard you talk
about your faith in me.

I meant every word.

I know.

And I don't recall you
being there.

So thank you for that.

Oh, I came to visit you
every night.

I just didn't talk.

Of course you did. Hey.

- Can you come here for a sec?
- Yeah.

Wait, did you hear
anything I said?

No, I don't think so.

Really?

Nothing at all?

I'm sure it doesn't
feel great to hear,

but it can't be as bad
as being in a coma, right?

No, I'm-I'm sorry, you're right.
It's not a big deal.

No, I'm sorry. Will this help?

You did hear me.

[laughs]
Of course I did.

And I want you to know
that I forgive you.

And I know
that you forgive me.

So let's just retire that
"F" word and be happy, okay?

I am happy. Trust
me, I'm so happy.

Good. I got you
one more thing.

- LIAM [laughs]:
- What?

I hear it's a bit of a beast,

but you can handle it, right?

Yeah. Thank you.

Everyone is where
they belong.

My family is here.

Alexis is in jail.

This is nice.
We're truly blessed.

BETO:
Wow, clothes really do
make the woman.

But shoulders back
when you walk.

Say, "Oh, darling,
it's beautiful."

WOMAN [Southern accent]:
"Oh, darling..."

Without the gum.
And still too much drawl.

We haven't had a meal together,
but I have a feeling

I'm gonna have to remind you

to close your mouth
when you chew.

Now, now, don't talk
to your sister like that.

Merry Christmas.
