Dr. Mike realizes that she would never have come to Colorado Springs and would not have the children in her life if she had made different choices. In the present, Dr. Mike is trying to deliver the baby of a couple who married against their parents' wishes. As Dr. Mike attends the party in her dream with Charlotte, she hears the townspeople speak about her. Some still don't think she fits into their town, but others stick up for her. In the future, Dr. Mike sees that she and her children had promised to always be together on Christmas, and that they kept that promise over the years. She realizes that her life is exactly the way it should be.

Series Games: Good Things, Bad Things

Top 3 Bad Things

3) "A Christmas Carol" ripoff plots for TV series seasonal episodes ALWAYS suck, and this turd is NO exception.

2) It's always a bad idea to combine magical realism with family friendly horse operas and this crap is NO exception.

1) As emotionally exploitive as most pregnancy episodes are there HAVE been a good one or two in the history of television. Unfortunately, this deep fried cat vomit is NOT one of those exceptions.

Top 3 Good Things

3) It's not a cheesy clip show, at least!

2) Kim Bauer's retarded ass isn't in it! WOO HOO!!!

1) Because of all dream walks or whatever the hell they are, the horribly untalented Shawn Toovey has only a minor role in episode. YAY!
