-Frankie and Max arrive to see Will, Austin, Lucas, Sami, Greta, Caroline, Bo, Hope, Belle, Philip, Kayla, Steve, and Victor there. Cassie also joins them, making Caroline happy. Nicole explains to them they are giving Eric last rites. It is almost time to say goodbye and with Roman missing it is unlikely they can save Eric.

Fr. Jansen arrives and everyone gathers around. Lucas comforts Sami, which has Austin wondering, and Victor comforts Caroline. Hope tells Bo that his family is going to need him now more then ever. Bo tells Hope to lay off him about Victor.

-Billie arrives and sees Bill, Doug, Julie, and Maggie outside the room and asks what is going on. They tell her that Abby is talking with Laura and Jack about their differences. Billie wonders how ugly this may turn out.

In Abby's room, Jack fills Abby in on what Laura did and how he feels she is partially responsible for what happened to her. Abby sees Billie and tells Jack to let her in. He does and Billie wonders what is going on. Abby explains to them that she is more to blame. She didn't have to listen to Laura but she did. She chose to behave how she did and she regrets it. Abby apologizes again but says that her mother would not want this going on and that things need to change now.

-Everyone leaves Nicole alone with Eric. Shane and Abe then arrive with word on Roman. The search team located the helicopter wreckage and Shane says he is flying there via helicopter to help search for Roman. Caroline hugs him and thanks him. Abe says he will keep in contact with Shane and let everyone know news when they have it. Nicole overhears and realizes there is still a chance for Eric if they find Roman and the drug in time. Caroline says they just need to hope and pray for a Christmas Eve miracle.

Sami seems intrigued by Shane's mission and remembers what she thought about earlier regarding her redemption. She can help save her father and brother and make up for her past mistakes. Sami tells Lucas and Austin to watch Will and that she will be back. They wonder where she is going when her brother can be on his deathbed.

-Abby begs her father to forgive Laura. She says they all made mistakes here and she wants fresh start. She nearly lost her life and she knows her mom would hate seeing them like this. Laura begs for forgiveness and says it was hard for her to see Jack with another women, let alone Kate's daughter. Jack reminds Laura they have always been friends and that Billie was a good friend to Jen. Laura knows but Billie did alot to Bo and Hope and it was just hard to watch. Jack has always been special to her and she was worried about him.

Laura admits she was wrong and was acting like Kate, something she always criticized. She apologizes and says she will stay out of it from now on. She just lost it and became obsessed with making sure they didn't get together. She tells Billie she wishes to bury the hatchet and move past this. Billie agrees and apologizes too. Abby begs her father to do the same. Jack agrees, but only for Abby and Jennifer. He hugs Laura and warns her never again to do this. She vows not too and says she will stay out of Jack's love life, no matter who it is he moves on with. He thanks her.

-Greta walks by Chelsea's room and goes in to see how she is. She updates her on Eric. Chelsea informs Greta she is going to try to rebuild her life. Greta hopes that starts with her telling Hope the truth. Chelsea says it's Christmas Eve and that would hurt Bo and Billie. Greta says life is too short to waste and Chelsea needs to tell them all ASAP if she is serious about turning her life around. Chelsea knows Greta is right and says she will call Hope to her room and tell her everything. Greta says she is doing the right thing.

-Bo is off getting coffee when he has yet another vahue childhood memory flash of him in a dark room crying for Kimberly and Roman. He wonders why he keeps having those flashes since being shot. He then gets a phone call and realizes he forgot to turn his cell off. He answers and seems shocked by the phone call. He tells the person he will be right there and tells Frankie to tell the others he had to run an errand and leaves in a rush.

-Max tells Frankie he is going to go tell Abby the truth right now. Life is just too short to waste and he is learning that now. Frankie tells him to go for it. Max leaves and Cassie follows before Frankie stops her. He warns her to back off or he will interfere and make sure Cassie never sees Max at all. Cassie tells him to back off and mind his own business. Frankie laughs and notices she is not acting like the Cassie the Brady's know and love. In fact, she is acting very Dimera-like. He leaves, warning that he is watching her, as a frustrated Cassie looks on.

-Laura comes out of the room and expresses her happiness to Doug, Julie, Maggie, and Bill that she has been forgiven. Maggie says they just need to hope Eric gets a miracle and that Roman comes home safe.

-In Abby's room, Jack tells Abby to get some rest. He mentions to Billie that he hates not telling Abby about her condition. Billie says she hates not telling Chelsea either. Jack hopes they can get through this and it will be a new beginning. Billie agrees and says she hopes the Brady's get through this ok too and that Salem can finally have some peace.

-Caroline, Victor. Kayla, Steve and Hope watch Nicole in Eric's room from outside. Caroline says they just need a miracle. Hope says they just have to beleive. Dr. Rowen shows up and says Eric's latest test so he has very little time. He suggests they start saying goodbye. Hope, Kayla, and Victor comfort Caroline. Nicole looks at them, her eyes wondering what the doctor said. Hope shakes her head.

Nicole looks at Eric and breaks down, saying he can't die on her. It's Christmas Eve and they just got married. Eric opens his eyes and reaches out for her hand. He smiles and tells her not to cry and that it will be ok. Nicole smiles weakly and lies on his body.

-Austin and Lucas are watching what is going on with Eric and Nicole with Will and wonder where Sami could be. They hope she returns before something happens with Eric. Abe then bursts in and says someone stole his gun. Hope asks what happened. He says someone broke the window on his car and took his gun, which he couldn't bring in the hospital.

A hospital security guard enters and says they know who did it. Abe asks who. The guard gives a description and Lucas shakes his head and identifies the theif as Sami. Abe gets a call from headquarters telling him that Roman Brady's daughter just raced in and up to the roof. Abe realizes she is going with Shane to find Roman. Everyone is stunned.

-Shane boards the helicopter. Sami races on the roof, gun in hand, and gets on board. Shane orders her off but Sami pulls the gun and says they can either take off willingly or do this the hard way. She is going and they can't stop her. Shane reluctantly tells the pilot to take off as Sami smiles, saying she make up for the past and will save her father and brother. She will succeed or die trying.

The screen fades out on a determined Sami.
