Plot[]

This flashback heavy episode opens with Fran insisting on separate christmas vacations due to Maxwell's reluctance to make a formal commitment to her. Maxwell tries to tempt her with a yachting trip around Greece, but Fran goes on her planned Caribbean trip with Val. The weather quickly takes a turn for the worse and Fran finds herself reminiscing about her friendship with Val and her adventures in the Sheffield household. Thankfully the storm passes and Fran is able to return home safely. Maxwell greets her with apologies and telling her he has missed her while Fran simultaneously declares that she regrets her solo vacation. Both seeking to have the upper hand they both exclaim in surprise and then pretend to have left it all unsaid. A final flashback shows a wedding teaser, which Maxwell points out never happened. d Fran breaks the third wall and says the wedding "flashback" was a Christmas treat for the viewers.

C.C. and Niles have a side arc wherein C.C. is injured while attempting to eavesdrop when she slips on a freshly waxed floor that Niles does not warn her about. With her leg in a cast and confined to a motorized wheelchair she struggles to keep up with activities in the Sheffield home, crashing into walls (and damaging quite a bit of molding!), and getting stuck going in circles.

A post-credit scene has the Sheffields yachting around Greece with Fran and Niles. Niles says that he feels as though he has forgotten something while C.C. is shown continuing to struggle with her motorized wheelchair in the kitchen of the Sheffield home.
