Lets get right into it, shall we?
We open on Rome waking up to find Gina creepily watching him sleep.
She had a dream that he was having an affair and is mad but also turned on?

She tries to start fooling around with him, but Rome makes excuses and gets out of bed.
Im assuming his anti-depressants are messing with his sex drive.
Gina promises to have her way with him later, so well find out soon enough.
Over at Katherines place, she and Theo are sewing his Superman costume together.
Not sure the relevance of that costume at this time of year, but whatever.
Gary arrives at the Dixons house trying really hard to be in a good mood after last weeks outburst.
Upset, she walks out and Eddie goes after her to attempt to talk about it.
Gary doesnt take much notice of her call and instead wants to know why Jon killed himself.
She then leaves to go talk to that Donnie chap she was on the phone with earlier.
Rome pulls away and has to come clean about his lack of sex drive.
Shes clearly upset, but he assures her its not her.
Hes not sure if its the pills or because hes not feeling like himself.
Lets rename her Subtle-D. Unsurprisingly, the cancer card wins and they get to move ahead.
He then asks her if they can be friends.
Maggie thinks they can, but then she finds a womans scarf in his car.
(Recap continues on page 2.)
While theyre gone, D is serving up some cookies when she gets cramps in her stomach.
They make an excuse about needing to go buy some sparkling apple cider and head out.
She sneaks out to go see whats wrong.
Rome and Gina get the award for worst babysitters ever since they dont notice shes missing.
At the hospital, Eddie tells D a story about missing Theos birth because of his drinking.
After finding out his son wants rain boots for Christmas (Seriously, kid?
Santas on the phone and you ask for wet-weather wear?!
), he apologizes for being sy during her pregnancy.
Sneaky Ashley watches from her car.
And just like that, Gary tells/yells at Maggie that hes in love with her!
Gary takes a beat then grabs her arm and sees the needle marks from the chemo.
Its time for Eddie to head off on tour.
Eddie even gets a hug from Katherine who whispers, like dont drink in his ear.
), and he tells his wife all he wants for Christmas is them.
He pulls up a chair next to Maggie and holds her hand while the drugs are administered.
Elsewhere, Delilah turns up at Katherines door to ask for legal help about being evicted.
I wondered why they casually reminded us Katherine was a real estate lawyer earlier in the episode.
At least Katherines the best in the biz!
And now for the bombshell, because whats Christmas without a startling revelation or two?
Im assuming hes pulled out of whatever deal he was part of with Jon.
They step inside and as the door closes, Ashley kisses him!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, VIEWERS.
NOTHING IS SACRED; THE MEMORY OF JON IS NOW RUINED FOR US ALL FOREVER.
