Rafe spoils Sami with champagne and in bed as they reminisce about their first Christmastide, while he was just the FBI protection detail, celebrating the prospect of his likely reinstatement as special agent, in charge of Sydney's kidnapping. After a gentle push from Daniel, Nathan decides on New Year's Eve 2009 it's not too late to prevent Melanie marrying Philip, who just convinced her to elope to Las Vegas. While she and Stephanie assure each-other equally unconvincingly to be happy with their present partners, the rivals get into a street brawl, which lands them in a police cell, together.
