Bluebell eagerly prepares for Christmas, but Zoe gives an old man four days sick-leave to visit his grandchildren, unaware it's the regular Santa, who has the only Santa suit in town. Wade grudgingly helps Zoe get one from his father Crazy Earl, who only agrees if he can resume the Santa part he gave up after the cancer death of Wade's mother drove Earl to drinking. A ring left in the Joseph suit starts the rumor George is going to propose to Tansy, but it's Lavon's desperate attempt to persuade Ruby to stay. Zoe gets caught in ill-conceived lies to pretend being a total success for her mother, who actually gives her the needed notch to humbly make up with Wade.
