Plot Overview
Adam and Nicole helped Liz and Jim trim their Christmas tree. Adam told Liz and Jim that he and Nicole are expected at the Karr house to watch Colin's press conference about Keith. Nicole and Adam were saddened to hear that Cookie has deteriorated to the point she believes herself to be possessed by the ghost of an ancestor. Nancy considered the possibility of having Cookie committed to another mental facility, but Mike tried to allay her guilt by leaving the decision to Jim. Mike and Nancy wondered if anyone in the Pollock family was actually named Alexandra. The Karrs were stunned when the family bible revealed that Nancy and Cookie's great, great grandmother was Alexandra Mansfield Pollock. Ron poured out his heart at The Raven, while the bartender poured drinks. Ron avoided the advances of a pretty girl who wanted to go home with him. Jim attempted to explain why Cookie would want to be possessed by someone else, but it was so deep everyone decided to concentrate on trimming the tree. Liz lamented the fact that Jim wouldn't allow her to use any of the Hillyer family ornaments, but Jim insisted their tree is a "Fields tree...not a Hillyer one." Liz convinced Jim to let her top the tree with a star that's been in her family for generations, then felt awful when the star fell to the floor and shattered. A messenger arrived at the Fields' door with a telegram from Italy. Liz fell sobbing into Jim's arms when the telegram revealed that Liz's father Orin and stepmother Julie had been critically injured in a plane crash.
