The awkwardness escalates when Ava Coleman also appears, leading to a memorable scene where Janine and Gregory dance closely, nearly reaching a romantic breakthrough before being interrupted.

Back at Abbott, Barbara Howard and Melissa Schemmenti attempt to enjoy their annual, quiet Christmas lounge dinner. Their plans are "crashed" by Jacob Hill , who is feeling lonely during the holidays. Jacob’s initial "Grinch-like" attitude and cynical takes on Christmas nearly ruin the mood until Mr. Johnson convinces him to embrace the spirit of the season. Key Cast and Guest Stars
