Original air date: 12/5/2022

When Jay's sister Bela returns to Woodstone Mansion for a holiday visit and brings a male friend, Samantha makes it her mission to spark a holiday romance between them. However, she and Thorfinn get caught in the crossfire as the scheme goes awry; Isaac's marriage sheds light on how apprehensive he has been in communicating his feelings to Nigel.


Tropes:

  • Actor Allusion: Sam really likes Christmas, so much that she keeps decorations up until Groundhog Day.
  • The American Revolution: A brief flashback in Part Two shows Isaac’s final moments alive in 1777.
  • The Big Damn Kiss: Isaac and Nigel have one near the end of Part 2, as do Hetty and Trevor.
  • Christmas Episode: This is the only episode in the entire 2 seasons that is in two parts.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • The events of "Possession" are brought up, as Bela wants to have Trevor possess her date Eric just as Hetty possessed Jay.
    • As Isaac and Nigel are about to kiss underneath the mistletoe, Isaac puts his hand on Nigel’s face to avoid the kiss in the same manner as Alberta did to avoid being kissed by Pete in “The Liquor License”.
  • Demonic Possession: Bela wants her date Eric to be possessed by Trevor, so she tries to recreate the events that led Jay to be possessed by Hetty. Sam stops them before they can carry it out, but in later trying to fix the lights again, she gets shocked and falls on Thorfinn. A second attempt to have Eric get possessed ends up briefly killing him.
  • Historical Domain Character: Benjamin Franklin is featured in Isaac’s nightmare.
