Tom and Susan (Breckin Meyer, Kiele Sanchez) spend Christmas Eve at the Kellys' home, where Tom tries to watch his favorite holiday movie on TV, "A Carol Christmas."

The competition between Tom and Mary increases when he's asked to speak at her school.

When Tom decides to have a room fit for him to write and be himself in, Susan decides to give the job to Mike Evans, a locally very popular former class mate, once believed the most promising of his year - unfortunately he turns out to be the worst in the business, not even licensed... This episode's plot has a few more surprising twists.

Tom discovers that his new doctor (Seth Green) has been obsessed with Susan since childhood. He's even ready to dump his new fiance for her, a close copy of Susan, on the spot!

For Lewis' twenty-first birthday the Kellys plan the usual kid's party in the pizzeria; Mary has coined and even registered the term 'twenty-fun'.

Meanwhile, Mary is green with envy when Susan lands the only job she was ever fired from; hostess.
