She whispers bye and woefully watches him saunter out. - Victor makes a toast in Greek as Brady rushes in with the gift. The Greek tycoon opens the box like a kid in a candy store. He examines the document inside and gasps. It is a deed to the first boat his grandfather owned, which he then lost in a poker game!

Dan starts to take out his phone, then tells himself he will see Jen soon enough. - At Horton house, Jen is hoping for a message on her phone when the Kiriakis clan arrive with Will. She wishes them a Merry Christmas. She soon admits to Maggie that she was just thinking of texting Dan. Maggie teases she knows he is thinking of her too! In the living room, guests mingle. Lucas thanks Sonny for joining them and hopes he will have a good time. Sonny is surprised. Will is pleased. Rafe now asks Nick about his wedding plans. He warns him that marriage is not easy, and a baby complicates things. Will watches the exchange and flashes back to the painful moment when Nick had laughed no one would suspect the baby’s father was some gay boy. Rafe steps away.

He credits their talk with helping him finally get a good sleep, then stops when he perceives she is crying. She confesses she wanted EJ to wish the kids Merry Christmas for her but it was too much. He asks her to help him by attending the mass but she thinks she is hopeless and returns to placing the prayer books on the seats. Father Eric insists she is not hopeless. She laments she once believed in miracles. Now she believes they are for others, certainly not her. She sits down with a sigh. Eric sits down in the next pew and explains in the Congo he questioned why God made bad things happen. However, it was some people who made bad things happen. There was still children’s laughter.
