When
Jamie's Christmas plans with his family fall through, Sarah and
Kevin take him with them to visit Sarah's family. Sarah's mother
and brothers find Jamie charming, while Kevin can do nothing to
please them and they snub him at every opportunity. Sarah tries
to convince everyone that Kevin's a great guy, but they're having
no part of him, and Kevin tells Sarah that he knows her family hates
him. Even Jamie tells Kevin that he's trying too hard and should
loosen up. Eventually Sarah is forced to confess that her family's
hostility probably stems from the things she told them about him
during the time when they'd broken up. Kevin's convinced he has
no chance of ever being accepted, and when he runs over Sparky,
the family dog, and mistakenly cuts down a tree the family planted
on the day of Sarah's birth, he knows he's doomed. Sarah and Kevin
quietly leave Jamie behind and return to the apartment to celebrate
Christmas alone together.
