With Alistair sleeping and hooked up to machines, his guests commented on his strong will to live. Chris noted that Al seems to enjoy the multiple attempts on his life.

In the attic, Rachel apologized for what she had done. From the hallway, Tabitha could hear Rachel crying. Katherine heard the same thing from the living room, then searched the manse with Sheridan, Pilar and Martin to find out where it the noise was coming from.

TC was happy to see Simone in the foyer. He told her that Alistair paid Rae to seduce her. TC said that she's not a lesbian after all. Rae defended her relationship with Rae and her sexuality, then accused her father of trying to kill Alistair. Eve, Julian and Liz interrupted the argument. Simone said she was gay before she met Rae, and pointed out that her father has a bad temper. TC slapped Simone. Eve yelled at her ex for his behavior, and warned him that he needs to accept Simone before he loses her. TC walked off. Liz and Eve exchanged harsh words.

Simone joined Rae in a bedroom and confronted her about working for Alistair; Rae claimed Crane simply loaned her money to start a club, not to date Simone. Rae said she doesn't want a full-time commitment. The girls kissed. TC walked in. Rae stood up for Simone, then threatened TC's life.

Theresa ran into Ethan in the kitchen. Theresa asked him to listen to his heart and leave Gwen for her. Kat and gang walked into the kitchen, searching for the crying woman. Pilar reprimanded her daughter for continuing to pursue Ethan.

In the library, Gwen and Rebecca worried about Alistair revealing their secret. Becks suggested they kill Theresa, but Gwen said they just need to find the evidence Al has against them. Gwen headed to Alistair's bedroom to search for the proof and left her mom in the library to do the same. Theresa spied on Gwenie as she tore Alistair's room apart. Theresa walked in and confronted her rival. "When Alistair wakes up, he's going to tell everyone what you did," Theresa said.

Kay met up with Ivy and discussed Alistair potentially leaking their secret. Fox and Sam walked in. They were anxious to get home, but knew they had to stay put. Most of the guests gathered in the family room and tried to figure out where the cries were coming from.

Tabitha called on Endora's magic to help her get home. Tabitha began spinning around in a cloud of dust. A tipsy Rebecca walked out of the library and spotted Tabby's strange behavior. Suddenly, Tabitha snapped like a firecracker. "Where is she," asked Becks. "Oh my goodness, was she fried to a crisp?" Tabitha suddenly appeared outside in the snow. She realized Endora accidentally zapped her to Boston.

When Rebecca left the library once again, the lights went out and a masked man came in and ransacked the desk.

Eve returned to Alistair's side. She and Julian wondered who tried to kill the evil man. Julian and Eve went to get coffee. The second Alistair was alone, the lights went out and the masked man tried to suffocate Al with a pillow.

Sam, Ivy, Katherine, Ethan, Sheridan and Martin entered the attic, where Kat spotted the Mystery Woman. "Mother, who is it," Sheridan asked. Katherine was happy to see her sister alive, and Sheridan was thrilled to realize she didn't kill her aunt.

Eve gave Alistair CPR while the rest of the party guests mumbled about wanting him to die. Gwen left the living room to take actions into her own hands. Fancy told Noah that her grandfather would be forever grateful to the Bennetts if he helped. Noah recalled his last run in with Alistair, when Crane showed him a file on his computer of Noah and his ex-girlfriend. After his flashback, Noah agreed to assist Eve. Julian walked slowly while retrieving materials to help Dr. Russell's efforts. Noah returned with Frisbees and pans as the makeshift defibrillator. Eve explained that she can't be responsible for letting Al die. Fancy snapped when Theresa suggested the doctor just walk away from the ill man. Theresa remembered seeing her husband before the party, when he informed her that he officially adopted Little Ethan.

TC and Liz chatted outside. Liz recalled running into Alistair in the hallway before the party began. He said he was going to expose her secret, but didn't say what it was. Then TC had a flashback about learning Big Al hired Rae to seduce Simone.

Gwen reappeared in the living room. Becca asked to speak privately with her daughter. Then we saw Ethan's flashback during which Alistair told Ethan he and Gwen must move out of the mansion — without Jane. Al admitted to changing Ethan's test results to make it appear he was in an irreversible coma so that Gwen would pull his plug. Crane hinted that Gwen has a secret of her own. Rebecca recalled a conversation when Alistair told Becks and Gwen that he knows they framed Theresa years ago, and that he changed Ethan's test results.

Unaware that Rachel was watching them, Sheridan told Katherine that she's a murderer. Chris interrupted the women and apologized to Sher for the horrible evening. Chris recalled yelling at Alistair for destroying Sheridan. Of course, Al threatened to expose Chris's secrets. Katherine remembered threatening her husband's life for telling Sheridan she killed Rachel. Al suspected Kat was who placed the ad in the paper and spread the rose petals in his office; she denied it. He claimed he would ruin Martin's life. Just as Katherine snapped out of her daydream, Julian brought his mother back into the living room. Rachel stepped into the foyer, worried that she went too far with her scheme. She headed upstairs. In the attic, she realized it's too late to stop what has happened.

We saw Martin and Pilar separately threaten Alistair's life in the recent past.

Eve announced that Alistair was stabilized. Sam pointed out that when Al regains consciousness, he will be able to name his attempted murderer and he will expose everyone's secrets. We once again saw the guests threaten Alistair's life.

Fancy begged someone to help her grandfather, who collapsed with a knife in his back. After checking Alistair's pulse, Eve announced he was dead. The guests headed toward the alcohol to celebrate, except for the devastated Fancy. "Doesn't anyone care?" Fancy yelled. Ivy, Fox, Kay, Tabitha, Julian, Noah, Liz, Theresa, Ethan, Gwen, Rebecca, Sheridan, Katherine and Pilar separately recalled threatening Crane. Sam pointed out that the host was murdered and the killer must still be in the room. Becca pointed the finger at Theresa, while several guests noted they, too, despised Alistair. Everyone but Fancy shared a toast to Al's death. Fancy heard a noise coming from her gramps. Eve checked on him and realized he had a weak pulse. Everyone wanted to let him die, except for Fancy, who continued to defend him. She called for help, but couldn't get through the phone line. Fancy demanded Dr. Russell try to save Alistair's life. Eve said she can't do anything for him; he needs emergency medical equipment. Fancy realized the mansion has a mini hospital. Nobody stepped up to help Fancy, except Julian and Noah. Fancy, Julian, Noah and Chris walked out of the living room to get help. Fancy turned around and expressed her disgust with everyone.

Sam asked who the last person to be with Alistair was. Ivy recalled her run-in with Al in his library before the fete, when he threatened to tell Bennett she plotted the demise of his marriage with Grace, and to expose her scheme with Valerie to break up Fox and Kay. Sam had a flashback of Jessica being drugged and tied up, thanks to Alistair.

Katherine chatted with Sheridan in the hallway. Sher shared with her mother that, as strange as it was, she felt a sense of relief to know that her murderous nightmares were reality, and that she hopes her father dies. In the foyer, Pilar and Theresa both hoped Alistair kicks the bucket.

The men and Fancy returned to the living room with the medical equipment. Fox remembered his last moments with his grandfather in the hallway, when Al fired him. Next, Kay recalled trying to talk Alistair out of firing Fox. He called her a moron and threatened to expose her part in Grace leaving Harmony. Then it was Tabby's turn for a flashback. She bumped into Alistair outside in the storm, and he informed her that he knows Endora is Julian's daughter. Al claimed Endora will be living in the mansion as a Crane, then noted he knows she's a witch. We then saw Julian's last encounter with his father; Al told his son he was going to tell Eve something that will destroy their relationship. All of the flashbacks showed Alistair's life being threatened.

While looking out the window, Noah thought he saw a woman, but brushed it off. Sam told everyone they must stay until the police arrived because they are all suspects. The heart monitor began beeping, and Eve announced Alistair was dying.

The Mystery Woman spooked Alistair when she revealed herself to be Rachel. He didn't believe it was her, but she guaranteed it was, in fact, back from the dead to ruin his life.

In high voices, the miniaturized Edna and Norma vented about being trapped in a Christmas tree ornament that is now packed in a storage box. Lightning struck, which broke the spell that shrunk them.The women were freed.

At the Crane mansion, Alistair's murder party guests braced themselves as the clock hit midnight. The lights went out during the storm. When the lights came back on, everyone was on the ground and thought something horrible had happened. Simone introduced Eve and Julian to her girlfriend, Rae. Fox got everyone riled up to find Alistair. Kay privately asked Tabitha who will be murdered, but the witch didn't know yet. Smoke began to fill the room. The men searched for a way out. Jules found a switch that released the steel doors. The men and women were mysteriously separated. Fox told Noah that he plans on proposing to Kay. Chris found Sheridan outside in the cold. She worried that her father would ruin their relationship. "Father will pay for what he's done — and soon," she said. Ethan ran into Rebecca, who had brought in the new year with a waiter. Gwen walked in, happy to see her husband. Ethan explained the "smoke" was a downdraft in the chimney. On their way to check on the children, Ethan, Gwen and Becca found a lifeless Theresa in the hallway. Ethan hovered over her. "I can't just leave her here," barked Ethan when Gwen demanded they get the kids out of the mansion. Becks pulled Ethan off of Theresa before he gave her CPR. Theresa began to mumble, which made Ethan happy. All the men reunited with their loved ones. Simone and Rae were thrilled to find each other in the foyer. The guests received text messages claiming one of their loved ones were in danger in the living room. They all rushed to check it out.

Al returned to his office, where the monitors showed his guests panicking. He thought he had escaped Rachel's wrath, but she returned with knife in hand. Alistair slipped through a door.

While alone in the Crane living room, Tabitha watched Alistair and Rachel through a punch bowl. The witch's celebration was cut short when she saw, through her bowl, Norma and Edna coming to kill Tabs. Before she could escape the mansion, Tabitha ran into Edna. Tabs warned Mrs. W to exit immediately because there was going to be a murder. Tabitha then bumped into Norma, who raised her axe. Tabby once again, tried to warn the crazy ladies about the danger looming in the mansion. She pointed out that Norma will be to blame for the murder that will happen there. The witch showed the women what was happening through her bowl and claimed that's what they will be blamed for. She urged the women to get out of town, and they surprisingly obeyed.

The guests once again gathered in the living room. They were all happy to see the others were doing fine, unlike what their text messages claimed. A bloody Alistair stumbled into the room with a knife in his back. He fell to the floor as the party-goers watched in shock.
