Craig suddenly appeared at the farm, so Emily fled. Meg warned him away from Paul's hospital room, making him suspicious. Still, he invited her to the New Year's Eve party. Meanwhile, Emily bought a box of blanks and planted them in the bar at Fairwinds. Wouldn't you know it, Craig brought Meg to Fairwinds to get a slinky black dress for the party, so Emily hid (none too quietly). Meg told Craig she changed her mind about the party to give Emily time to get there as an alibi. Craig invited her to spend the night with him drinking wine, forcing her to squeal to stop him from reaching into the bar where the blanks were hidden. She pointed out it was midnight and kissed him.

Gwen told Maddie she quit the music business to attend school with Will. "Did something happen between you and Adam?" Maddie asked. "It was just a kiss," Gwen answered. Meanwhile, Will and Adam sparred over that same kiss. Adam urged his brother not to punish Gwen. Will told Gwen if she quit he'd hate himself, and he understands about kiss. So they kissed, then Gwen told Adam she's back and sang a song at Crash. Outside, Maddie commiserated with Elwood. Casey arrived and Adam let Casey slide on telling their parents about his gambling problem. Elwood asked Casey to gamble again, but he resisted. At midnight, everybody kissed. Gwen watched Adam and Jade, and he noticed her noticing him.

Katie laid claim to the diamond Bob held. Simon wandered at the fringes of Bob and Kim's party. Then Carly arrived — with Jack and Parker, followed by Lily, Holden and their kids. Lily warned Simon not to make a scene. Casey and Elwood set up the sound system, and Casey fretted over telling them about his gambling problem. Bob loaned Katie the diamond — until midnight. She told Henry that once Jack sees it he'll arrest Simon. Henry tried to talk her out of revenge, but she suspected Simon put Henry up to this. Parker goaded Jack into dancing with Carly, but Katie summoned Jack away. So Simon summoned Carly to his room. Bob and Kim introduced Holden and Lily, who tripped the light fantastic on the dance floor. Faith had little faith her parents had truly reconciled. Carly appeared at Simon's door and they kissed. As Jack watched, Henry summoned his fence, who identified the diamond as belonging to the royal necklace Simon heisted. Jack arrested her, and Katie urged him to go upstairs and nab Simon. Carly, meanwhile, tried to break it off with Simon, who promised her, "We have nothing to worry about." So they embraced and began undressing each other. Downstairs, Emily interrupted Tom and Margo's kiss for "a matter of life and death".

Meg told Emily that Paul was in an accident even as he convulsed and warned a nurse, "Don't do it," based on a vision of her putting white pills on a tray. Then he coded. Susan saved him, then threw Meg out for conflict of interest. The nurse told Susan that Paul claimed the medication would kill him, but Susan forced him to swallow a white pill anyway (he demanded green ones). Later, Susan stopped a nurse from delivering white pills that were wrong for another patient and wondered how Paul knew about that. Meg and Emily went to the Snyder farm, where Emily doubted she could keep her promise to tell the DA what Paul did. The women realized they're on the same side, and Emily had a way to put responsibility where it belongs — if Meg will help. Later, Meg asked Craig to meet her tonight. Paul told Susan he had a vision of the pills.

Jade found Adam listening to Gwen's music and got jealous. Meanwhile, Will was angry about Gwen kissing Adam. She admitted Iris saw them and told Jade. Will accepted the kiss meant nothing to Gwen, but what about to his brother? Will felt inadequate compared to L.A. — and Adam. Gwen insisted she values being his wife more than anything, so she found Adam and quit. Adam vowed not to throw away all his effort and stormed out just as Jade strutted in. Gwen said they're not working together anymore, and traded barbs with Jade, who needled her about how she balked at forgiving Will for his sins. Adam blasted Will for guilting Gwen into quitting; Will blasted Adam for kissing his wife.

Mike gave Katie the diamond and scolded her for causing the ruckus on Christmas. Carly scolded Simon and told him to leave, but he revealed he cannot run away. He smooched her, but she wanted to end things. "I love you," he said. She admitted the same thing and kissed him. Simon wanted to make it work, but Carly was sure it couldn't, and told him to leave town and never return. Meanwhile, Mike told Katie, "I think we should start the paperwork for the divorce." He said her wacky schemes and talk of babies were all covers for his inadequacy. Bob and Kim interrupted, so Mike fled. Bob told Kim they have to get this big diamond into Lisa's safe. Simon was sure the diamond was at bottom of landfill, but Carly knew supercop Jack could reopen the case. "Love stinks," she said, adding that she can't act like a kid because she has them. Sage asked if Simon could come to dinner; Carly said no and banished him.

Bob said someone in maintenance found the diamond in the hospital garbage disposal. Kim wanted to keep it and fly to Rio, but he wanted to turn it over to the police. As he held it up, Katie noticed it.

Happy Holidays!
