Air date: Dec 16, 1999

In the basement, Ben struggled to free Maria, but he couldn't cut her loose in time. Suddenly, Derek and Tess showed up with Meg in tow. Derek said he wanted to enjoy watching his brother suffer. Gregory entered a dilapidated warehouse for a secret meeting with Jude. Jude thought it was time to move on with the plan. Gregory agreed, but first he wanted to remind the young man of something: Jude was being paid to work for Gregory 24 hours a day. Gregory wasn't happy that Jude had let Caitlin slip out of town. Annie had nightmares about losing control of the estate. She thought of Jude's promises of a better future. Mrs. Moreau appeared in her dream. She demanded that Annie admit what she had done to Olivia. Annie awoke to hear Christmas carols coming from downstairs. Rose entered the main room to find Olivia trimming the tree and dancing to Barbra Streisand's version of "Jingle Bells."
