Plot
Florence decorate the Boys' apartment for the holiday season. Lawrence asks Florence to go to the Christmas dance at the Dance Studio, but Florence declines his offer as there is a Christmas marathon that she needs to watch. Lawrence reminds her that she wanted to go there once. She apologizes as she then had other plans after that. Later, the Boys go to H-E-P for Christmas shopping. Jake sees a woman named Sandra Elms (voiced by Ratchel Dratch) put a bat inside her jacket. He alerts the security and they catch her in the process. At the trial, she is sentenced for six years in prison. Both Gillan and Jake intervene with the trial and decide to change her ways, as well as take the police off her hands. Meanwhile at MacLayne Manor, Todd sings "Jingle Bells" while decorating the Christmas tree. Sherrie answers the door after the doorbell was heard. As she opens it, it reveals to be her mom (voiced by Grey Griffin), who is visiting her family for Christmas. Sherrie is elated that she is here, but Todd is dismayed.

With the duo, they bring Sandra home, but Lawrence explains the house rules to their "guest". After going over the rules and bonding with the duo in good deeds, Sandra becomes polite and less selfish. Unice tries to reconcile with Todd, which leads to him telling her about the "past times": Unice and Todd had Sherrie, then months later, the couple get divorced after an argument. Ever since then, Todd had to take care of Sherrie on his own. She apologizes for her previous absences, in which he forgives her. With Jake and Gillan, they return from the corner store only to find in inside of their apartment burnt, which was caused by Sandra, was not allowed to touch the thermostat (which was one of the rules), which lead to her turning the oven on. After doing so, she lit a cigarette, which cause the fire. Jake blames her after thinking he and Gillan could change her. Sandra cries her actions and explains her past to them: She was kicked out of her boyfriend's home for her complete laziness and alcoholism. After that, she tried getting a job, but had trouble with that due to her non-experience, which lead to her life of crime.
