At the Quartermaines, Leo and Wiley run into the living room where Tracy was trying to relax and read. Cody and Michael follow, and Leo and Wiley open a box to show her what they found in the stables. The box is empty, and the boys assume “it” got out.

Michael and Tracy chat in the living room. She asks if he made the phone call. Michael says, “He’ll be here.” Ned walks in and asks, “Who will?”

At the Davis home, Kristina and Molly want Alexis to join them to watch cheesy Christmas romcoms and eat Chinese. Alexis can’t take a break, as she has to get back on top of Willow’s case after the disaster that was Portia. If she fails, they will never see Scout again. The girls try to convince her to take a break, as perhaps after recharging, she’ll see something new about the case.

They eventually convince Alexis to join them on the couch at Noodle Buddha, with movies and blankets. There is a knock at the door, yet nobody is expecting anyone, and Molly panics when she sees it’s Cody. She quickly fixes her hair and invites Cody in to join them. Alexis suggests that Kristina come with her to the kitchen to get Cody a plate of food and a drink.

Molly and Cody sit on the couch, and Cody says he came over to ask her if she was free on New Year’s Eve, and if she would like to ring it in with him. Molly says she’d love to and they kiss.
