Jason’s Penthouse
Jason and Sam are about to get it on when there’s a knock on the door. It’s Lulu and Spinelli.

Queen of Angels
Emily and Nikolas are there early, checking out the manger. Emily teases Nikolas about being there over an hour before rehearsal.

Lucky demands he be given a drug test to prove he’s not using.

Jason’s Penthouse
Lulu points out that Spinelli saved their necks. Jason wants to know why Spinelli has to stay with him. Lulu says they tried the Q’s but Monica flipped. Jason wonders why she cares where he stays. Lulu says it’s because he’s helping her with her mom project. Lulu: “Don’t worry. It’ll only be for a couple of months.”

Carly’s Cottage
Jax says his brother would try to break up their wedding but the difference is that Jerry would actually put his life in danger. Carly says she wouldn’t have fallen for whatever Sonny had planned. Jax tells her to go get Sonny back if it’ll make the boys happy. Michael comes downstairs and hears this. He’s overjoyed that Carly’s going to get Sonny. Carly bursts his bubble. Michael wants to postpone Christmas until Sonny comes back. Jax points out that it’s not fair to Morgan. He’s younger and he won’t understand why Santa’s not there. Michael says fine, he’ll keep Christmas on but only for Morgan.

Queen of Angels
Nikolas feels like something’s going to happen because everything’s going so well. He feels like he’s being too morbid and tells Emily her job is to keep him from brooding and to remind him that Christmas is about joy.

Jason’s Penthouse
Spinelli suggests asking The Goddess. Sam says that, as tempting as it would be to have Spinelli there, they really value their privacy. Jason, softie that he is, agrees to let Spinelli stay there. Spinelli: “Aww..Stone Cold. I didn’t know you cared.” Spinelli hugs him and then tries to do some Bro handshake but Jason warns him off. The look on Jason’s face when Spinelli hugs him is priceless!

PCPD
Lucky can prove he’s clean. Elizabeth says the drug test will just prove he didn’t use any pills today. Lucky says she’s wrong. Elizabeth says this life isn’t fair to her or her kids. Lucky reminds her they’re his kids too. Elizabeth tells him that if he were any kind of father, he’s stay away from them.

Jason’s Penthouse
Spinelli thanks Lulu for getting him a place to stay. She leaves. Jason tells Spinelli there’s a tv in his room. Spinelli goes upstairs. Sam wants to know what Spinelli’s helping Lulu with. Jason fills her in. Sam wonders if that’s wise. If Lulu does find the real killer, wouldn’t that put her in danger? Jason says yes, that’s why he needs to keep an eye on Spinelli. Spinelli comes back downstairs. He’s not digging on the pink room.

Queen of Angels
Nikolas and Emily are waiting for rehearsal. Carly and Jax show up with Michael and Morgan. Emily teases Nikolas a bit while the kids get set up. The teacher calls for “baby Jesus.” Nikolas sets Spencer in the manger.

Maxie says she didn’t get pills for Lucky nor has she seen him use. She wants to stay to comfort Lucky but he makes her go. Mac can’t believe that Maxie still defends Lucky. Lucky says there’s nothing to defend because he’s not guilty. Someone’s setting him up. Mac doesn’t get why someone would want everyone to believe he’s using again. A cop brings the drug test results.

GH – 6th Floor Nurses Station

Jason’s Penthouse
Spinelli’s all “Pink? Does The Goddess know you’re in touch with your feminine side?” Sam explains that the room used to belong to his ex-wife. Spinelli thinks a shrine to the ex- is a little insensitive to The Goddess. He wonders if he could just move across the hall. Sam says no, that’s the baby’s room. Spinelli says he can’t have a baby. It would ruin her hotness. Jason tells him to either go back upstairs or he’ll throw Spinelli down them. Spinellis says that Jason should have a baby with someone else.
