It’s Christmas Eve. Dylan accepts Glen’s offer, and Glen buys Dylan a ticket for later that evening. Dylan nervously asks Glen if he can work off more than the price of the ticket, then clarifies that he would like to get gifts for his brothers. Glen agrees, and they go to the electronics store where Dylan saw a remote-control car. Dylan gets the car for Micha and a CD player for Jordan. Dylan is anxious about how much he’ll owe Glen after Christmas. Before they part, Glen gives Dylan a second CD player, saying it’s a Christmas present for him. Dylan is nearly moved to tears because he’s been carrying around his own stash of CDs without being able to listen to them.

Dylan heads to the youth center. He plans to ask Jenna to come with him to his grandfather’s house. Dylan also plans to test a new theory about Twitch. He joins Amber and Twitch, who looks sick and sits still. The Bandana Kids approach Dylan, but Ainsley shoos them away as she brings over cookies and cider. She tells Twitch that he needs to see a doctor and Amber that she needs to quit smoking.
