In a bid to lift Alexandria's spirits, Mary, Lester, Sandra, Rose, and Pearl each decide to don a Santa costume and deliver presents, hoping to fool her into believing Santa has changed his mind. Unfortunately, with the police on the lookout for a Santa thief, they all find themselves behind bars as suspects.
