Maggie and Holly discuss the Leo and Holly conversation.
Sophia sits on the couch holding her stomach, she doesn’t know if it’s morning sickness of just the idea of her parents finding out. Tate is surprised at the idea of her parents finding out. He suggests that this is completely her choice but he will drive and pay for her to have an... it’s never said.
Brady can’t believe that the Nutcracker has sold out, but he would like to spend the evening with Ava anyway. (Because hanging out with Steve’s ex is a turn-on for him) Ava is in a celebratory mood too as Clyde is comatose. Brady reminds her it’s karaoke night somewhere and she needs to hear him sing “Sweet Caroline”. He doesn’t mean to be cocky or anything but he kills that song.

Sophia doesn’t have a choice, she has to keep the baby. In the state that Salem resides, if you are under 18 you need parental approval and she is under 18 and her parents would freak out if they knew she’d even kissed a guy. Her parents haven’t had the famous birds and the bee talk with her yet. She fears her parents would stone her if they found out. Her parents don’t believe in abortion, her father believes that life starts at making eye contact across a crowded bus. They would never give her permission to take care of this. Tate seems to think that it’s weird it’s Sophia’s body but others get to make that decision for her. Tate tells Sophia that he will do whatever she wants.
Brady and Ava sit on the end of her bed with Styrofoam food containers watching the Nutcracker on her TV. Brady thinks he is brilliant for streaming this in her room. He was going to take her to Chez Rouge for dinner. Ava is a burger and fries girl. No ketchup on a burger, which is more than I needed to know. Apparently, they are unaware of the Nutcracker as they are now stunned by Christmas “rats”, and even though they’ve been watching, they have no idea what’s going on. They move to Christmas Vacation. Ava looks at Brady and thinks of Clark Griswold, much to Brady’s horror. They settle on A Christmas Story. It is their favorite movie.
