On Christmas Eve, Georgie tries to infect the family with holiday spirit, but Bea's eggnog infects them with something else.

Georgie is taxed by the attitude of the school's parents association, which wants a teacher fired because he's HIV-positive; Teddy and Mitch are audited; Alex realizes she can't afford to lose her maid, who's being deported.

Alex has to decide between accompanying Wade or Victor to an awards ceremony; Frankie feels Mitch is forcing her to choose between him and her work; Teddy has problems picking out a used car.
