Eric and Donna are busy decorating their hotel suite for Christmas when Ridge shows up and asks his father to talk with Stephanie because she plans on not celebrating Christmas this year. Eric tries to talk Stephanie out of canceling the holidays - to no avail. Brooke returns home after her visit to the police station, wondering if Storm could have shot Stephanie. She informs a shocked Katie of her suspicion. Then, Storm pays his sisters a late visit who behaves very odd. Hesitant at first, and even though Katie pleads with her to stop, Brooke pushes forward and asks her big brother the essential question: Did Storm shoot Stephanie and set their dad up?
