For the first time ever, Edina has agreed to stay home and spend Christmas with the family. Edina typically goes overboard by buying a huge tree and tons of gifts. Patsy is very upset that she cannot go away with Edina as they do every year, as she hates Christmas. Patsy has a flashback of unpleasant Christmas memories of her childhood. Someone somewhere sticks a pin in a Patsy voodoo doll, and she collapses in pain beneath the Christmas tree. Although Edina and Saffy ignore her, John insists that Patsy needs to go to the hospital. Once at the hospital, the doctors tell Edina that Patsy is very sick and indicates that she may die. Edina and Saffy return to the house to continue their Christmas celebration. In the middle of the night, Patsy's estranged sister Jackie arrives to visit her. The following day, Edina and Saffron drop by only to learn from a nurse that "Miss Stone" died, only the one in question turns out to be Jackie, not Patsy. At Christmas lunch, Patsy shocks everyone by asking for a slice of turkey. She manages to eat it, but over three decades of not eating solid foods finally catch up to her, and she chokes on it. Guest stars Kate O'Mara (Jackie), Eleanor Bron (Patsy's mother)
