| The Valentis and Tess are shopping in
the grocery store when they come upon Amy DeLuca. Valenti and Amy flirt, and Tess gets an
idea. She invites Amy to the Valenti house for dinner, using Valenti’s name on the
note. Valenti is horrified, until Amy gets there, and they have a wonderful time. Kyle and
Tess have a bonding moment in the kitchen. At
the Roswell Christmas Pageant, Isabel takes the microphone and welcomes everyone. She also
owns up to her "Christmas Nazi" nickname, looking at her family and friends
pointedly. The pageant begins, and seeing Sydney, Liz gives Max the idea to try to heal
her. When Max finds out she’s been hospitalized, he and Michael dress in scrubs, and
Max sneaks into Sydney’s ward while Michael keeps watch. There, Max heals not just
Sydney, but all the kids in the ward. He and Michael escape out the window one step ahead
of the hospital security team, and when the door is finally pried open, the hospital staff
finds the kids completely recovered and playing happily.
Maria shows up at Michael’s apartment to thank
him for helping Sydney, and Michael presents the bumper to her. She tells him how
thoughtful he is, then asks if he’s ready to exchange presents. She points to the
pile of presents that Isabel left there, and asks if hers is in there. Desperate, Michael
slowly approaches the presents, and there, within the pile, is one labeled "Michael,
Just in Case. Love, The Christmas Nazi." He pulls off the tag, and underneath it is
another tag with "Maria, Merry Christmas. Love, Michael" on it. Maria happily
unwraps the present, and is thrilled to find a pair of pearl earrings.
Max shows up at Liz’s to thank her for the
suggestion on "restoring the balance," and Liz reminds him that he can’t
heal everyone, that he’s not God. Everyone attends Christmas Eve services, including
Max, who earlier had said he wouldn’t be going. He greets his parents and takes a
seat next to Liz. A very happy "Christmas Nazi" smiles brightly as it begins to
snow in Roswell.
