Joan earns a pew at church, and asks Pamela to write a speech for her. Pamela and Butch decide to pull a trick on her and write about his homosexuality. After the Reverend takes the pew away from them, Joan blames Pam and Butch for it.
Richard reluctantly drives Kimmie, Marika and Helen-Alice to a remote cut-your-own Christmas tree lot upstate, but the trip over the river and through the woods goes terribly wrong when Marika gets them lost and they run out of gas on Christmas Eve. They think they're saved when they find a beautiful cabin miraculously stocked with a holiday feast - until the cranky old man who lives there shows up. Meanwhile, Kendall goes it alone with her frosty parents, Spencer and Lydia.
Ben gets in a bad mood as Christmas approaches, so he makes a wish that the holiday never existed. His wish is granted, but he's unprepared for the consequences: Emma's existence is erased and everyone's lives are on different courses.
