It's Christmas Day on Ramsay Street. At the Harris house, Nicolette is loving being back under the same roof as Aaron, Isla and Jane.

They are planning a big turkey lunch with Byron, Sadie and Holly but this is interrupted when Trevor absconds with the turkey. Paul comes to the rescue, inviting them to Christmas at the Penthouse and the lunch is a wonderful celebration of love, family and friendship.

Meanwhile, Remi, Cara, JJ and Dex prepare to leave for New York. Holly offers up a Christmas present by way of apology and Dex rejects it, triggering Cara. JJ urges his brother to think of his mother, not himself. Chastened, Dex apologises to Holly.

The Vara-Murphys head to the airport on their trip. Cara thinks she sees Chelsea but brushes away the thought it couldn't be. But she was right. Chelsea is back in Melbourne – and she's pregnant.

Elsewhere, Nicolette is delighted that Yaz is joining her for Christmas. However, when Yaz discovers that Holly will be there too, she pulls out. This hurts Nicolette, who tells Yaz how she feels. Yaz arranges for a delivery to Holly's house – a present from Heath. Holly opens it and is terrified.

Also today, Vera cancels the brunch, feeling ashamed after what she overheard. Max realises what happened and discovers Vera sitting home and alone. Determined to make it up to her, he goes and buys her some Christmas lunch.

A mystery man turns up looking for Seb. Leo, using information from Dex, tells him where Seb is living. Byron and Sadie run in to Max picking up food for Vera at Grease Monkeys. A car drives at Seb, with Sadie and Max in the way. We hear a sickening thud and see Max, Sadie and Sebastian left on the road.
