After getting a card from Phillip, frightened Lizzie (Marcy Rylan) asks to hide out in Bill’s room. Bill postpones a conference to stay with Lizzie.

Lizzie and Bill realize neither has a place to go for Christmas. A tipsy Ava interrupts, planting a kiss on Bill. Ava likes that she and Bill just use each other for sex, but Bill blows her off.

Later, Bill sees Lizzie holding the interview he’d originally scheduled - and outing him as a womanizer and for turning on his family to get his hands on the company.

Dinah (Gina Tognoni) and Mallet can’t keep their hands off each other and head to Mallet’s place as they begin to make love. Billy and Vanessa are surprised as Dinah confesses that she was responsible for outing Billy as a drunk — and that she’s checking into rehab herself.
