 Christmas Eve. Brady s late mother appears again to make him open a box of memories and regain faith in Christmas and miracles. Craig and Chloe pray at Nancy s sick-bed she may be home for Christmas, then Chloe and Brady in chapel. Nicole demands the best and most expensive of everything from her wedding planner, then leaves grumbling Victor pretending  urgent girl stuff for the wedding  after a call from Colin. Kate accompanies Billy to the lie-detector test with Roman and Abe, which she passes; hostage-memories make Hope repulse and hug Bo, then claim after hearing Billie will probably be reinstated she will commit another murder attempt. Brandon watches Dr. Bader hand the test results to Lexie; Colin reminds cousin Sami she owes him any favor for keeping her doctoring of the paternity test silent. Belle tells Mimi, who won t see Kevin for Christmas but gets hot on Rex, Shawn didn t get to actually  do it  because of the sprinkler (which Cassie set off) but still feels assured he s the love of her life. Philip quits his job at Dotcom, thanks the girls but says he may be quiting college, Salem and Columbia, without Chloe in his life, and phones his parents to talk at the mansion- and there announces he just enlisted as US Marine. Colin shows Nicole his $5,000,000 home video starring them both, naked in his bed.
