Max cleverly sees trough Chelsea poor-little-should-be-rich-girl routine but is coaxed into cuddling and kissing. Austin is too happy about Carrie's return and the prospect of taking over High Style too mind much how little effect his call to his assistants for a seasonal insults truce helps. Lucas is happily home with Will, who barely stand Sami's presence, and Carrie, despite his bothersome neighbors. Conflicting considerations continue whether Frankie should stay in Salem, but an ice-caused fall keeps him put. Marlena is far from impressed by the Alex-bashing.
