Theresa and Ethan arrived at the cabin.
"I hope this is a good idea," Ethan said.

"I hope we don't get caught." Theresa said.

"The Cranes always keep these cabins filled with supplies," Ethan said, opening cupboards to reveal that there was plenty of food and electricity.

"I'm going to be spending Christmas in a cabin with Ethan," Theresa thought happily. Theresa smirked when she thought up a devious plan. "Ethan, do you remember the first time we ended up in a cabin together?" Theresa asked.

"When Ethan Martin was born?" Ethan asked. Theresa smiled at the memory of finding out that Ethan Martin was really Ethan's.

"Well, yes, but the first time was when you, me, Chad and Whitney were stranded here during that avalanche." Theresa said. Ethan smiled at the memories of the days before Theresa was Mrs. Julian Crane, when everything was still innocent. "I guess you could say it was fate."

"Theresa, please.." Ethan said. Theresa looked down sadly. "I know what you're trying to do, but I'm married to Gwen. I love her."

"But you're saving me." Theresa said.

"You are the mother of my son, but I love Gwen." Ethan said.

"Ethan..." Theresa said.

"Theresa, you let me think you were dead. You married Julian and continued to try to use the Crane money to get me back when you knew trust was what I cared about. You tried to pass my baby off as Julian's. You kidnapped Allan! Kidnapping, Theresa!" Ethan said, still in disbelief that he was helping a kidnapper. "I'm helping a criminal!"

"Ethan, Julian and Rebecca have always done horrible things to me." Theresa said. "I still think that Ivy and Rebecca were the ones who set me up to be executed." Theresa remembered how panicked they had gotten when Theresa said that she remembered them talking over her coffin while she was still in her drugged state.
 
 

"I'll jinx us?" Julian asked. "You already jinxed us." Julian smirked deviously.

"What are you up to, pookey?" Rebecca asked.

"We're going to get ourselves into a lot of trouble, before this jet even lands in Paris!" Julian said. "Wait right here." Julian said. Julian returned a moment later with an oversized suitcase.

"What do you have in there?" Rebecca asked. Julian struggled with the suitcase.

"I'm surpised this thing hasn't crashed the jet." Julian smirked.

"Just show me what's in the suitcase, Julian." Rebecca said. Julian opened the suitcase, which was full of costumes.

"We don't need any of the blasted locals around to get us into trouble," Julian said.

"Now this should get us into plenty of mischief." Rebecca said. "Good thing Allan went to sleep the minute he got on this jet."

"You read my mind," Julian said. Julian laughed and started chasing Rebecca around the jet. After Julian had her cornered they kissed.

"So, what mischief shall we get ourselves into first, pookey?" Rebecca asked, pointing to the pile of costumes.

"Just think of the trouble we can get ourselves into in Paris, I heard about a really good costume shop, what do you say we bring home some souvineers?" Julian asked.
 

Beth groaned impatiently.

"How much longer is this flight going to last?" Beth asked.

"Too long if you ask me," Mrs. Wallace said.

"For once in our lives we agree about something, one more minute sitting next to you and I'll loose my mind." Beth said.

"It's a good thing we're not at home because I'd be strangling you with some tensil!" Beth said.

"Out of all the light bulbs on the tree, you're the burnt out one!" Mrs. Wallace said.
 

Luis sighed sadly as he entered the church with Sheridan.

"I can't believe Theresa and Antonio aren't going to be home for Christmas." Luis said.

"I'm sure Theresa will be alright," Sheridan said. "Ethan is with her."

"Ethan must have feelings for Theresa if he is putting himself in danger like this." Luis said. Sheridan's head started to pound. She grabbed her head in pain, starting to feel sick. "Are you alright?" Luis asked.

"That was weird," Sheridan said. "I suddenly felt really sick."

"Do you want me to take you back to the cottage?" Luis asked. "that way you can get some rest."

"I'm sure I'm fine," Sheridan said. "I don't want to miss the Christmas Eve mass."

"Then at least sit down," Luis said, leading Sheridan to a seat.
 

Faith walked up to Grace at midnight mass that night.

"Grace, is it really you?" Faith asked. Grace started at the woman in disbelief.

"Faith!?" Grace squealed, throwing her arms around her sister. "You're alive?" Grace asked. "But how- the fire-"

"I'll explain everything later- where's Charity?" Faith asked.

"She's somewhere with Miguel." Grace said. Grace introduced Faith and her family.

Kay watched as Grace and Faith reunited.

"Faith, why don't you come live with us?" Grace asked. "I'm sure Kay wouldn't mind moving back into Jessica's room." Kay knew her mother would pull that one.

"Oh, Grace, I wouldn't dream of making Kay give up her room, I didn't even let you guys know that I was coming back to town. Don't make Kay give up her room." Faith said.

"Kay really wouldn't mind, would you Kay?" Grace asked. Kay figured that she might as well go along with it to keep Faith a partner in crime.

"Aunt Faith, I'd be happy to let you have my room." Kay said. "It wouldn't be fair to keep you away from Charity." Kay watched the stunned look on her mother's face. "How's that for a slap across the face, mom?" Kay thought. "Mom wants to think the worst of me. Besides the sooner I get Charity out of the house the better."

"Kay, I really appreciate it, but I'd feel awful if everyone had to change everything because I showed up." Faith said. Kay gave Grace a satisfied smirk. "I'll be just happy on the couch."

"This is the mother I should have had," Kay thought. "Mom only thinks about herself. She wants to think the worst of me because the only way she can be the perfect homemaking tomatoe soup cake baking maniac she wants to be is by makign someone else look worse. Well, Charity took my mom, I'm going to show her what it feels like by taking hers!" Kay thought up an idea to make her mother mad. "Aunt Faith, I'll go find Charity and let her know you're here!" Kay said, rushing off to find her cousin.
 

"Luis is it really you?" Paloma asked, rushing up to her brother.

"Paloma?" Luis asked, overjoyed, throwing his arms around his sister. "Oh my gosh, how did you get home?"

"We got enough money to fly me home! I'm home to stay Luis!" Paloma said. Luis introduced Paloma and Sheridan.

"Well, we've got one miracle this Christmas," Pilar said.

"Yes, mama my sister is home!" Luis said, hugging his sister. Chad noticed a young woman with Luis and Pilar. There was something about her that caught his attention.

"Who is that?" Chad wondered.
 
 

The next morning, Beth and her mother arrived at the hotel in Paris.

"How are we going to afford this place, Beth?" Mrs. Wallace asked.

"I don't care," Beth said. "All that matters is that I get Antonio!"

"Do you always have to go after taken guys?" Mrs. Wallace asked.

"Mother, Gwen is not going to have Antonio. Not if I have anything to say about it. Since I can't have Luis, I'll have his brother!" Mrs. Wallace noticed Julian, Rebecca and Allan enter the hotel with a ton of suitcases.

"Well, Beth your plan hit a snag!" Mrs. Wallace said. "Gwen's mother just walked into the hotel."

"You're kidding." Beth said.

"Nope! Your days are numbered!" Mrs. Wallace said. Beth rolled her eyes as she heard Julian and Rebecca call each other pookey and Becky wecky repeatedly.

"Oh great," Beth said.

"Your days are numbered! You're not going anywhere near Gwen and Antonio!" Mrs. Wallace said.

"What are you going to do, tattle on me!?" Beth asked. "Nobody likes a tattle tale mother. How would you like to be left in Paris? Or better yet, Sweet Serenity?" Beth started to sing the song from the retirement homes commercial.

"I'll be good," Mrs. Wallace whimpered. "Anything but Sweet Serenity."

"I'll go ask the desk clerk to give us the largest suite available," Rebecca said. Julian stopped in his tracks when he saw Beth and Mrs. Wallace. "Pookey, are you coming?"

"Oh no it's batty Beth and the bag lady!" Julian thought.

"Pookey?" Rebecca asked, dragging Julian.

"It was just my imagination," Julian said, hoping that he was right.
