At the hospital, Liz is busy working to schedule shifts for the holidays. Finn exits the OR and heads to his office. Liz follows and senses Finn is in a mood and asks if something happened during surgery. Finn says nothing happened, but he had to be supervised in the OR and he’s tired of this lawsuit hanging over him. He’s lost three patients to other doctors, and his reputation is taking a hit already. Finn knows if he loses this case, it will be the end of his career. Liz tells him to remember that he did nothing wrong.

They sit down and discuss the details of the Muldoon case, and how strange it was that Muldoon didn’t know he was sick. Finn recalls Muldoon mentioning a vacation home in Beecher’s Corner. Finn wonders if there is a possibility that he saw another doctor before him, one out of network and paid out of pocket so it wasn’t traceable through insurance claims. He says that would mean there is another doctor who didn’t detect his cancer. Liz says this could be good for his case if so, and if they could prove another doctor missed the cancer… Finn says it could convince the jury how difficult it could be to make a diagnosis based on Muldoon’s symptoms. Liz thinks this could work.

Later, Liz tells Finn she reached out to some nurse friends in Beecher’s Corner and has found out that Muldoon did see a doctor there, about a month before he came to see Finn…

In the Quartermaine kitchen, Lois finds Olivia making post-Christmas dinner turkey soup. Lois thought they were going to do this together, accuses Olivia of avoiding her since Christmas, and asks what is going on with her. Olivia asks, “Did I betray you by marrying Ned?” Shocked, Lois doesn’t understand where this is coming from. Olivia says they never discussed her marrying her ex. Lois says if she is asking if she has thoughts on Olivia marrying her ex, well you bet she does! She loved Ned, and she loves their child, but she’s no longer in love with Ned. She is happy for Olivia and asks what happened to freak her out over this. Olivia admits it was Tracy, and she asked if she wasn’t concerned about having Ned’s ex staying in their house. Lois laughs and says Tracy just wants her out of the house as they are like oil and water. Olivia knows she shouldn’t have let Tracy get into her head, and she does love having Lois here. They reminisce about their childhood in Bensonhurst, and being tough girls. Lois calls Olivia the toughest of all and her living with the Quartermaines proves it, as she couldn’t do it.

They bring up how the Quartermaines bring out the worst in people, and Lois hates seeing how they have always influenced Ned. Olivia says Ned is his own man, but Lois thinks otherwise seeing how Ned turned his own family members into the SEC. Olivia defends her husband, insists Ned isn’t the rat, and that Ned is allowing everything to think the worst of him for the sake of the family. Lois asks if she is saying someone else turned Carly and Drew in. Lois continues, “Does Ned know who did, and why is he taking the wrap for them?” Olivia deflects and states Carly is her second-best friend, but she and Drew did commit a crime. Lois knows the SEC never would have gone after them for something so minor given the merger didn’t happen, so someone had to provoke them. Lois asks, “Who turned Carly and Drew into the SEC, and who are you protecting and why?”

Oliva won’t reveal who the rat is and explains she and Ned agreed to keep their identity a secret. Olivia says they both know the truth can hurt, and this would hurt a lot of people they care about. She doesn’t want another disaster when there is hope for peace. She asks Lois to promise not to say anything. Lois doesn’t know anything as is, but vowed long ago to stay out of Quartermaine business.

Alexis stops by Sonny’s and needs a favor, more than a favor. She needs Sonny to tell her that she’s wrong. He assumes this is about Kristina and the surrogacy. Alexis worries this could tear the girls apart, and no contract will protect Molly and TJ if Kristina changes her mind as this will be her biological child. Alexis says Kristina’s never been pregnant, and she worries how it will affect her. She knows she’s underestimated Kristina in the past, so tell her, is she doing it again?

Sonny says he’s proud of Kristina, and he knows Kristina is proud to be doing this. He always worried that Kristina was lost personally and professionally, but things have changed this past year for her. Alexis agrees the youth center has her more focused and more mature. She knows Kristina’s intentions are good, but life can upend the best of intentions. She reminds him they didn’t plan on having a baby. Sonny can’t imagine life without Kristina, and neither can Alexis. Sonny points out that babies can change everything.

That’s what has Alexis worried. She notes Kristina might disagree with how Molly raised the kid, what if she hates Molly raising the child a vegan and slips them a cheeseburger? Sonny jokes that he’s the grandfather, so what if he slips them one? Alexis points out that is the problem, he won’t be the grandfather in this situation, and this is going to tear the family apart. Sonny finally admits he is a little concerned about this too. He realizes if it is hard for him to accept that he’s not the grandfather, it will be more difficult for Kristina to accept she’s not the mother. Alexis asks what they’ll do about it. He says ultimately this is Kristina’s choice, and they need to stand by her. He thinks she did the right thing talking to him and venting, and not going Kristina. She appreciates him being here for her.

TJ stops by Kristina’s place to see her, and she invites him in. He says Molly said it was best if he came to see her and talk privately. Molly told him about their discussion with Alexis, and they need to set things straight. Kristina immediately thinks he’s changed his mind, but he asks to let him speak. He is happy Kristina and Molly are getting along, and he loves the idea that Molly will have a biological tie to the baby. However, Alexis has him worried, and he needs to hear Kristina say this a baby will be his and Molly’s, and she will be the aunt.

Kristina understands his misgivings, especially since she’s known to look before she leaps. She has done a lot of soul-searching, and she doesn’t want children of her own, at least not at this point in her life. She’s excited to go on this journey, and she will love this baby and may have a special connection to them, but she is happy to just be the cool aunt. TJ is relieved to hear her say that. Kristina is happy to help them have a baby and to focus on running her center after this child is born. She swears she knows what she’s getting into. He thanks her for doing this for him and Molly. She says he will be a great dad because he doesn’t hesitate to ask the tough questions.
