Jack tells her that she can have the kids but on Christmas Eve day only, as long as Kit and Sam aren't there. Carly makes the best of it and agrees. Sage comes downstairs to show off her costume and Carly tells her the Christmas plans.

Aaron asks Alison to give them another try, but Alison wants to know what he thinks will be different if they start seeing each other again. Aaron remarks that they have both changed and Alison agrees to give it another shot. Moments later, Aaron's phone rings and when he tries to put the call off, Alison guesses it is Sofie and encourages him to answer it.

Aaron arrives at the hospital to see Sofie and Gwen asks him to cheer her up. As soon as Aaron enters the room, Sofie begs him to get her out of the hospital. Aaron tries to persuade her to stay, but Sophie explains that if she stays in the hospital, seeing all the babies passing her window, she will go insane. Aaron asks her to go to the farm with him, but she tells him she only wants to return to the hotel. When Gwen and Will return later to Sofie's room, they find her missing and learn from a nurse that she left with a young man and the baby is still in the NICU. At the Wagon Wheel, Aaron gets Sofie comfortable and tells her not to worry, that she comes first. Gwen and Will arrive and try to find out what Sofie is thinking and if she is okay. They learn she is fine and turn to go, but Gwen tells Will she has an idea and the two go to make a few phone calls. When they return they tell Sofie that Lisa has agreed to let her stay at the Lakeview and let her return to her old job.

Rosanna gets ready to call Craig, but is interrupted by Paul questioning why she snuck out of bed again. Rosanna makes up excuses and Paul asks her if she is avoiding him because he paid too much attention to Meg. Rosanna recalls Craig condemning her for changing the DNA results and then turns her attention back to Paul who claims that he realizes now that Meg's baby is Craig's and that Meg is no longer his problem. He apologizes for focusing too much attention on Meg and Rosanna explains she was a little hurt by his recent interest in Meg.

Meg explains that she knew he was up all night and wants him to admit that he is just worried about the baby and trying to look into their baby's condition. Meg, who still thinks that the baby is Craig's child, tries to reassure him that everything will be alright. Meg wants to call the doctor to have more genetic tests done, but Craig tells her he doesn't want her to do anymore tests. Craig gets a call from Rosanna and heads out. Meg feels bad for Craig thinking he is worried about his son.
Meg heads out to the farm to see her family and when Emma questions her visit she explains that she is worried about Craig's reaction to the baby possibly having a genetic disorder. Emma tries to explain that Craig is sensitive because he has lost a son in the past and if she believes the baby will be alright then he will begin to believe it as well. Meg asks her mother if she approves of Craig and Emma admits that she is hopeful Craig can change. Meg confesses that by getting over Paul she believes she and Craig can be happy together.

Craig says he won't and she questions if Craig will be able to raise Paul's baby and love it once it is born. Craig wishes Rosanna a Merry Christmas and hangs up without answering. Meg arrives, as Craig looks at the vile of Xyphorex, and tells him that her mother has invited them to the farm. Craig tells her they can't go and explains he just wants a quiet night at home. When Meg pushes for the dinner, Craig calls Emma and explains that he had already order a dinner for two. Emma accepts the apology and encourages Meg to take care of herself, as Craig secretly pours the poison into Meg's ginger ale.

Meg asks why he did it and Craig claims there was a bug in the glass. Meg asks Craig to let her take care of him and an emotional Craig embraces his wife. Meg bandages Craig up and goes to change as Craig holds the bottle of Xyphorex and cries seeing the sonogram of Meg and Paul's baby.

Lucinda has taken Faith and Natalie to a performance of "The Nutcracker." On their way back through Old Town, they see a dollhouse in a store window, complete with many Victorian-clothed dolls. Faith likes the setting with the whole family gathered in the living room, and she says she wishes it would come alive, like in "The Nutcracker." Lucinda tells her that with magic, it could, and the scene dissolves to show the dolls alive, with Lily sitting next to Dustin Donovan on a sofa. Mr. Donovan has just proposed to her, very woodenly, and she has not given her answer yet. Faith, Natalie, and Ethan are all putting presents under the tree and turn down "Dustin's" offer of help; Lily excuses their reaction, saying it wasn't long ago that they lost their dear father. Dusty leaves, and Holden, the stable boy, enters, calling Lily "ma'am" and saying she can't marry Mr. Donovan because he's not worthy of her. When Lily says no one else will love her, Holden leans in to kiss her but stops when Bonnie walks in, as "Mrs. Jenkins." Mrs. Jenkins is attracted to Holden, although Lily reminds her she's a married woman. When Mrs. Jenkins asks why Lily doesn't accept Dustin's proposal, Lily says because she doesn't love him. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the servants are gathered: Lucinda is the cook, while Margo is a maid, Tom is a footman, and Bob is the butler. They are preparing food for the gathering, for Master Luke, and Bob is haranguing them about it, especially Tom, his son, whom he calls a constant disappointment because he's "still a footman at your age!" In the living room, Bob approaches Kim, a lady of the house, and flirts with her, arranging to meet her later in the "blue room." Noah arrives and greets Luke warmly. As they embrace, Luke notices Mr. Donovan watching and breaks away, introducing Noah as a friend from the university. Mr. Donovan leaves, and Luke tells Noah apparently he's to be engaged to his mother. He's not happy about it, having made inquiries about him at the club; Noah cautions him to be careful, telling him "we all have our secrets" and calling him "Luciano." Luke says, "Not here" when Noah leans in close to him. Noah tells Luke that he's to be married to a family friend's daughter, saying he's being pressured by his family. Luke responds that what they've had is just a schoolboy thing that resulted from "youth and loneliness." Meanwhile, elsewhere in the house, Chris and Emily arrive, and Chris introduces Emily to everyone, including Mr. Donovan, as his fiancée. Dustin gets Emily alone long enough to tell her she can't marry Chris, but Emily says she'd given up waiting for Dustin to fulfill their plan together, which apparently was for Dustin to marry Lily, take enough of her money to repay his gambling debts (including debts to Chris), and then have enough left to start a life with Emily. Dusty assures her his plan will work, and they kiss; Emily leaves, but Holden has overheard their scheme and tells Donovan that he must leave. Lily walks up, and Dustin tells her to choose to believe a mere stable boy or himself, and Lily faints. When she comes around again, Holden hands her something to drink and tells her that "Robert" has tossed Mr. Donovan out of the house. Lily tells Holden he's forgotten his place, but as he turns to leave, she pats the sofa beside her and has him come sit down, telling him she wants him by her this Christmas; he says they'll be together every Christmas, and the dollhouse scene ends. Faith, Lucinda, and Natalie come back by the dollhouse looking for a mitten they dropped, and Faith notices that the lady doll on the sofa is now sitting by a different male doll than before.
Rosanna passes by the dollhouse and stops to appreciate its charm, noticing in particular a woman looking out of an upstairs window. The dollhouse comes alive again, with Rosanna as that woman, a sickly thing who is married to Paul Ryan and being tended to by Nurse Margaret (Meg). When Paul enters the room, Rosanna tells Nurse Margaret that she can go now, and then she tells Paul that she's well enough that he should give the nurse her notice that she's not needed anymore. Downstairs, Lucinda is serving dinner to Dr. Craig Montgomery, because the lady of the house has told her to; when he asks why she dislikes him, she says because she's seen how he looks at the nurse. Nurse Margaret comes in and tells Dr. Montgomery that the Ryans will be wanting to retire soon, so he should go check on Mrs. Ryan again first; he tells her that's because she wants him to interrupt them before they get too "close." He goes upstairs, and Paul leaves to give him a chance to examine Rosanna; Rosanna tells Craig her mind is troubled, and he says he knows the cause of the trouble and names Nurse Margaret, saying he's seen the way she watches her with her husband. He tells Rosanna he'll help her with this problem, using "the utmost discretion," and she thanks him and tells him she'll reward him for doing so. Downstairs, Paul finds Nurse Margaret and they embrace, and then he gives her a locket inscribed, "Forever love, Paul." He tells her if only his wife weren't ill, he could be with her, but Nurse Margaret says he's too honorable to ask for a divorce even if his wife was well. Craig overhears this and interrupts them, saying Rosanna is rallying and should be fine by the morning. Paul leaves, and Craig snatches the locket from Margaret, telling her he knows what's going on and will go tell "poor Mrs. Ryan." Margaret protests and says she'll leave immediately if he'll stay quiet; he agrees but only if she'll give herself to him. Margo, the maid, brings a drink upstairs for Rosanna and hands Paul a note, telling him it's from Nurse Margaret. Paul reads the note, which says that Margaret must leave tonight but will always love Paul. Paul rushes downstairs but is too late, as Dr. Montgomery has already prodded Margaret out the door and into a carriage, in which they are driving away. Rosanna watches from the upstairs window, and the dollhouse scene fades away.
Sage walks by the dollhouse with Parker and JJ and sees a "sad" lady outside the house, looking in. The lady becomes Carly, who is watching the gathering inside the large house. Brad is "the Reverend," a preacher who is discussing his Christmas sermon with Katie, trying to impress her. Nancy Hughes is the lady of the house, and Vienna is a spinster who is visiting. Katie is afraid she's becoming a spinster, too, because she hasn't gotten married yet, but then, she spots two soldiers, Lieutenant Dallas Griffin and Captain Jack Snyder. Jack asks Dallas to introduce him to Katie, which he does, and Jack asks Katie if he can call on her in the new year. Katie says nothing would please her more. Bob, the butler, comes and tells Nancy that a strange lady and 3 children have arrived at the kitchen door asking for food and shelter. Reverend Brad points out that it's Christmas, so Nancy tells Bob to invite the lady in and give her children food. When Carly enters the room to thank Nancy, she and Jack see one another, and Jack wonders who she is. Brad tells them she's "Mrs. Tenney," who has been gone from Oakdale for a while now and is now a divorcee. Lisa, who is at the party, gasps in horror at the news that there's a divorcee in the house! Katie asks Jack to retrieve her shawl from the parlor; he leaves, and meanwhile, Parker and JJ enter the main room and tell their mother that they can't find Sage anywhere. Jack hears a noise in the parlor and finds Sage, who was behind the Christmas tree trying to look at it. He picks her up to show her the angel on top of the tree, as Carly and the boys come into the room. Carly takes Sage from Jack and sends the children back to the kitchen, then apologizes to Jack. He says her children are beautiful, "which is inevitable." They both remark that they feel like they know one another. Henry arrives at the house as Officer Coleman, complete with his police club, and Vienna immediately comes to talk to him. He tells her he's worked up enough courage to finally ask her something, and just as he begins a proposal, Lisa cries out, "My necklace! It's gone!" Henry tells everyone not to leave until they find out who took the necklace. Carly and Jack come into the room, and Lisa accuses Carly, who insists she didn't take it. Jack defends Carly, saying in this country, you are innocent until proven guilty. Vienna finds the necklace on the floor by the Christmas tree, and Lisa apologizes to Carly for falsely accusing her. Carly thanks Jack for standing up for her like that, holding his hand as she does so, which Katie notices. Katie takes her shawl from Jack and coolly tells him it was nice making his acquaintance. Carly's children enter the room again, and she says they should leave, but Jack tells her it's early still and they should stay. The dollhouse scene ends.
Gwen and Will walk by the dollhouse, and she notices that a light just turned on in the nursery. They wonder if that's some kind of sign, and then they realize there's no baby in the bassinet. In the living dollhouse, Will and Gwen stand by the empty bassinet, with Will saying that 6 months ago, he envisioned this Christmas being very different. Gwen says apparently she was meant to perform on stage rather than be a mother, since their child was stillborn. She thinks she hears a baby's cry, and she goes downstairs, where she encounters Alison, who has her mail. Gwen thanks Alison for all her support over the past few months and asks if there's anything interesting in the mail. Alison says there's one item that says it may prove valuable, and Gwen tells her to send it back if it's valuable, not looking to see that it's a necklace. She hears a baby again and goes outside, where a baby girl has been abandoned on the doorstep. Will says they must try to find the parents and will post a reward for information. Days later, they are upstairs in the nursery with the baby when Gwen's mother, Iris, walks in and says the parents have been found. They go downstairs, where Barbara Ryan introduces herself as the proprietress of a home for unwed mothers. She has Sofie in tow and claims she is the baby's mother, and Aaron, who is with Sofie, has recently agreed to do "the right thing" and marry Sofie. They produce a birth certificate as evidence that the baby is theirs and ask for the reward. Susan Stewart walks in, saying someone had called for a baby nurse from the hospital. When she sees Barbara, she tells Will and Gwen that she saw Barbara the night their baby was stillborn, carrying something in a blanket that was moving. She accuses Barbara of stealing the baby, and Sofie jumps up and says she's not the baby's mother, that she'd tried to steal the baby back and return her to her real parents, Will and Gwen. She tells Gwen she sent her a necklace that the baby was wearing the night Barbara brought her back from the hospital. Alison gets the necklace and shows it to Gwen, who recognizes it as something she thought they'd buried with their stillborn daughter. When she asks Barbara why she stole their baby, Barbara says she didn't steal her, she was just caring for her for a while for a small fee; she glances at Iris, and Gwen realizes Iris did this so that Gwen would pursue her career on stage and earn money for the family. Will tells Alison to call the police, and Will and Gwen are happily reunited with their baby girl.
Downstairs, Susan enters the kitchen, where Lucinda hands out glasses of wine to her, Bob, and Tom and Margo, who have just become engaged, much to Bob's delight. Bob offers a toast, "To Christmas. To family. To hard work. To good company. To peace on earth." And the dollhouse scene ends.
Sage brings Faith and Natalie back to see the dollhouse and says, "I wasn't kidding! They move! It's magic!" As the girls look into the crowded scene in the dollhouse, the Carly doll turns and winks at them. The girls all see the wink and react with awe, running off together.
