In Greenlee's hospital room, everyone is relieved when she opens her eyes and begins to breathe on her own. She tells Aidan she came back because of him! Joe asks them all to leave. Erica asks him if Jack, at least, can stay but Joe won't allow it. Kendall hurries from the room and doesn’t stop to talk to Ryan and Annie, who have just arrived. Jack, Erica and Aidan come out of Greenlee's room and fill them in. A few minutes later the doctors clear Jack to visit Greenlee. At her bedside Jack asks her how she managed to get through the past month locked in a bomb shelter. Greenlee tells him that Zach helped pull her through. Aidan walks in and stays with Greenlee for a while. Jack makes a few calls to spread the good news. Livia arrives. Across the room Sean calls Colby to give her the news.
In the hall Erica runs in to Jack and tells him she really is happy that Greenlee is back. She brings up their relationship but Jack refuses to talk about them, at least for the holiday. Everyone comes into the hall as Emma announces they are having a party. Zach and Kendall sit with the boys, Annie and Ryan sit with Emma - and then Bianca and Miranda walk in! They are welcomed with hugs and kisses. Julia arrives. Erica is carried in by two young orderlies. She makes a speech to all of them about love, family and happiness. She wishes everyone "Merry Christmas" and the crowd begins singing "Deck the Halls" as the kids begin dancing. Greenlee and Zach, sitting across the room from one another, lock eyes and smile.
At the hospital, Jack is praying for Greenlee to get well. Erica arrives; Sean and Lily point her toward Jack, who says Greenlee isn't doing well. They watch Joe and the staff work on Greens through a window. Inside, Aidan begs Greens to fight. Joe shocks Greenlee again and gets a sinus rhythm. Joe asks Aidan to leave the room so the doctors can work. Before he leaves begs Greenlee once more to fight. In the hall he reports what he knows to Jack and Erica. "They got her back, but. . .," Aidan says. Sean interrupts with news that Lily is beginning to lose it. Erica offers to talk to Lily so Jack can stay near Greens. Erica tells Lily, who is shaking and rocking, that Greenlee is doing better. Lily can't understand why the doctors are yelling; Sean explains that they are simply doing their jobs. Erica reminds Lily of Ava's operation and Kendall's early delivery, telling her that Greenlee will be okay, too.
Erica sits with Jack in the waiting area, holding his hands. Across the room Sean is still trying to distract Lily, but Lily is focused on Greenlee. Lily crosses the room to tell Jack she loves him. Stunned, he tells her that he loves her, too. Lily turns away but then returns to Jack. She reaches out to him and takes his hand! Jack is shocked. They hear Joe calling out orders to the other doctor's. Kendall comes out of Zach's room to see what the fuss is about and they fill her in. Erica begins to pray. Jack is touched and begins to pray, too. Kendall tells Erica that Greenlee can't die.
Aidan walks down to the chapel and sits quietly. Father Clarence is there and tells him that if he prays God will hear. Aidan tells Clarence that praying won't heal Greenlee. Clarence brings up one of Aidan's army buddies, who was saved because of Aidan's efforts. "He just offered a prayer of thanks for you, saving his life so many years ago," Father Clarence says and encourages Aidan to have faith. Aidan says he will do anything to help Greens; Clarence tells him that love can get Greenlee through. "Love is magic. It's the world's most powerful medicine," he says. Aidan kneels and begins to pray as Sean comes running in. "You need to come back," Sean says. Aidan returns to the waiting area and bursts in to Greenlee's room as Joe loses her pulse and heartbeat again. He begins to cry. Jack, Erica and Kendall come in. Jack cries over Greenlee's body and Joe asks the other doctor to call out the time of death. Aidan begs them not to do it and turns to her, asking her to open her eyes. He holds her, telling her it isn't time for her to die. "You need to stay, darling, don't go," he says. Joe tells Aidan he has to let Greenlee go but Aidan can't. He holds her, crying, and Greenlee takes a breath! Joe hurries to check her vital signs and finds that she has a very weak pulse! Sean turns to Lily and smiles. Outside, Father Clarence quietly wishes them all a Merry Christmas and leaves.
They make it to the hospital and Joe begins to examine Greenlee. Zach wakes long enough to tell them about the snake bite. Orderlies wheel Greenlee away; Kendall begs Joe for answers but he doesn't know anything. Joe focuses on Zach for a while. Zach tells them that Greenlee saved his life! Zach is taken to a private room and the doctors say he has a good prognosis. His doctor leaves and Zach asks about the boys. Kendall tells him they are both fine and ready to see him. She kisses his hand and tells him that she loves him.
In the waiting area, Derek comes in and asks Joe about Zach and Greenlee. As Joe tells him Greenlee's and Zach's prognosis, Richie sees Zach through the open doorway and wonders if he could have even more charges placed against him. Derek takes Richie back to the psych ward. Joe returns to Greenlee; Aidan is waiting. Joe tells Aidan that Greenlee is in bad shape and her kidneys are shutting down because of severe dehydration! Just then, alarm beeps begin sounding from Greens' monitors!

Erica arrives at Kendall's just in time to hear Joe's new diagnosis for Spike. All of them are stunned to learn that Spike would have become deaf whether or not Greenlee kidnapped him and they got into the accident. Joe leaves. Kendall goes off the deep end, believing more than ever that she is to blame for Greenlee's disappearance and Zach's; and even their deaths if neither is ever found! Erica sits down with Kendall, telling her that none of this is her fault, after all, Greenlee was after Spike. Ryan suggests going to tell Aidan the news but Kendall insists on going alone. She leaves. Ryan suggests that Erica go to Jacks to give him the news and she hurries away. Ryan settles in with the kiddos alone. Josh stops by and Ryan tells him about Joe's new findings. Ryan says they need to start preparing Kendall for the possibility that Zach may not return alive. Josh is surprised that Ryan is giving up hope. Ryan reminds Josh how long it has been and tells Josh that he knows Zach would move heaven and earth to return to Kendall but that he may not be able to.
Kendall takes Spike home and finds Ryan waiting there. She tells him there is nothing new on the Zach front but says Aidan is still looking for them both. Ryan is watching her compassionately and Kendall tells him to stop treating her like a widow! Ryan suggests they have some dinner and Kendall tells him Josh and Erica will be home soon; she suggests he invite Annie and Emma, too. Ryan calls in their order for Chinese food. To get her mind off of Zach Kendall asks about Annie. Ryan updates her on the Richie situation. Spike begins crying in the nursery and Kendall listens through the monitor. Kendall tells Ryan about her promise to confess about setting up Greenlee and how she didn't keep the promise. They talk for a bit about Greenlee - the past and the present. Ryan blames himself, saying if he hadn't left and faked his death none of this would have happened. Kendall tells him it wasn't his fault any more than it was Zach's fault or her own. Kendall tries to call Aidan for an update but he doesn't answer. Just then Joe stops by and tells them that there is news about Spike's deafness - Joe says the cause of Spike's hearing loss may not have been the result of the accident. Joe says Spike had a chromosomal abnormality that caused Spike to lose his hearing and it was coincidence that the abnormality manifested itself at the time of the accident.
