Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Rachel was disappointed after opening her gifts. Kristen wondered what happened. She told her mother that she didn’t get everything that she wanted. Rachel wanted her parents back together and blamed Kristen for why it didn’t happen. Kristen knew that she was wrong to blackmail Brady over the serum for Sarah, and she didn’t get him back anyway. Rachel knew that he wanted to be with Ava now. She admitted that she overheard her mother talking to Stefano’s portrait about getting rid of Ava. Rachel wondered if he gave her any good ideas. Brady arrived with flowers from Susan and not from John the way Marlena thought. Marlena talked about missing John. Brady gave her a locket that belonged to Isabella. He knew his mother would want her to have it. The locket had a picture of Marlena, John, Brady, and Belle. Marlena choked up after seeing it. He questioned her about his father’s case. Shane told her that the case was a global security matter. She knew he would be back, but she wanted to talk to him. Brady understood because Kristen wouldn’t let him see Rachel because he didn’t want to be with her. He felt like him seeing Ava didn’t help the situation. Kayla asked Roman to be Santa for the children at the hospital. He wasn’t ready to do it after what happened last year. Steve stole the suit from him when he was supposed to be Santa. Kayla reminded him that Stefano was the one who did it. They agreed not to talk about Stefano on Christmas. Steve was working on John’s case when Ava arrived at the pub. She wanted him to find the person who was sending her harassing texts. Steve didn’t think the warning to stay away from Brady a threat. Ava thought they were from Kristen. She asked him to check it out. Rachel wondered if Stefano told her to lock Ava in the secret room. Lani arrived so her question went unanswered. Kristen was excited to see her. She couldn’t believe how grown up Rachel was. Rachel excused herself. The women talked about Kristen not letting Brady see Rachel while she’s with Ava. Lani informed her that her decision wasn’t about Brady. It’s about Rachel. Lani asked her if she deserved to see her father for Christmas. Lani left when Rachel came back. Kristen had a surprise for her.
Marlena talked to Brady about his attraction to dangerous women. He understood, but he didn’t do it on purpose. She didn’t want to see him get hurt. It was too early for that. He talked to her about the texts Kristen was sending to Ava. His phone rang, and it was Kristen. Kristen invited him to spend Christmas with Rachel. Later, Brady arrived at the DiMera mansion with gifts for Rachel. Roman got hot at the hospital while he was dressed as Santa. He had trouble breathing and had a pain going down his arm. Kayla examined her brother. He wanted to know if he was having a heart attack. She informed him that he had an allergic reaction to the Santa suit. He couldn’t play Santa, but Kayla had an idea who could do the part. Kayla ended up asking Abe to dress up as Santa. Paulina read the Christmas Story to the children at the hospital. Marlena reached out to Shane and asked to talk to John. He denied her request. She talked to Sami, and Carrie called. Sami seemed to get upset that Carrie called while they were talking. Marlena assured her that it wasn’t a competition between them. After her conversation, Marlena received a package. It was a box of strawberries and cream with a note from John. Steve used an app to pinpoint the location of the burner phone texting Ava. The locator revealed the texts were coming from the DiMera mansion. Kristen made a comment about Ava which made Brady think she was sending the texts to Ava. She assured him that she wasn’t the one sending the texts. Rachel was in the foyer and send Ava a threatening text to stay away from Brady. She had a menacing smile on her face.
