Plot Overview

Delia tries to talk Pat into taking her and Little John sledding, but he suggests that she ask Bob instead. Delia's temper flares at the rejection, and she tries to kiss Pat. He pulls away, telling her that that part of their relationship is over. Alex tries to explain to Jack why he wasn't told about his condition immediately. Jack is very hard on Alex, and insists that Alex tell him how he's going to fix it. Pat confesses to Father McShane that he made love with Delia. Father McShane advises Pat to avoid Delia, and Pat agrees. Alex continues to talk to Jack about the possibility of surgery, until he can no longer take Jack's anger. After he excuses himself, Johnny goes in to try to apologize. Johnny talks to Jack about his own background, and explains why family is so important to him. Finally, Jack says that he knows that Johnny doesn't like him and never has, and that he really doubts that Johnny cares at all what happens to him. Johnny flares, telling Jack that the person he feels most sorry for is Mary, for getting hooked up with someone like Jack. Pat apologizes to Faith and tries to get their relationship back on track. Meanwhile, Delia asks Mary how soon a person can tell if she's pregnant. Mary replies that it takes about ten days, without giving it much thought, and leaves. Delia smiles, saying out loud that with a little luck, Pat will have a nice New Year's present.
