R.J. and Zende butted heads about Ridge's quickness to pull the plug on Eric. Feeling the need to help Eric, Zende vowed to complete Eric's collection. Ridge chose R.J. to help him complete Eric's vision instead, and Zende confided in Luna that he felt left out of the family. After Eric's near-death experience in recovery, Eric required a ventilator to breathe, and the family questioned whether the decision to operate had been selfish and if they'd been wrong not to honor Eric's wishes. Finn and Bridget, worried about possible infections, decided to remove Eric from the ventilator. Eric heard them and responded by fluttering his eyes. They removed the tubes, and Eric struggled to breathe on his own. Eric tried to wish everyone a merry Christmas, and Brooke exclaimed that they had their Christmas miracle.
