Max witnesses a tragedy and is haunted by the ghost of a man he could have saved, leaving him overwhelmed with guilt and questioning his healing abilities. Isabel aka the Christmas Nazi (dubbed by Michael) tried to brighten up the holiday season and Tess tries to become a part of the Valenti family. She and Kyle grow closer and Amy Deluca comes to Christmas dinner at the Valenti house. In order to set things right again, Liz gives Max the idea to heal Brody's dying daughter Sydney. After discussing it with the other aliens, he learns Michael thinks it is too much of a risk.
