Donna struggles with the decision to tell Gina and at one point decides to until Gina brings up how much she loved and still misses her father.
Donna tries to get closer to Gina, offering her a job at the boutique and telling her she wants to improve their relationship. Gina's a bit amazed at Donna's new attitude but tells her she cant work at the shop. Later, Donna goes to Gina's hotel suite and apologizes for not being a better friend to her.

Gina tells David what she's learned and when he offers to stay with her, she tells him she needs to be alone but after he leaves, Gina calls Dylan and tells him that somethings come up and she doesnt want to be alone. He tells her he'll be right there. Gina tells Dylan about it and says the worst part of it is that she always thought that her bad childhood was just fate and now she knows it was because she was rejected. David shows up and gets upset at finding Dylan in Gina's room and walks out when Gina tries to explain. Gina and Dylan follow him out of the hotel and Dylan and David get into a shoving match and Dylan falls in front of a moving car. Dylan isnt seriously hurt and Gina tells David he'd better leave.

Gina is in the Peach Pit looking at pictures of her and her dad when Donna comes up. Donna tells Gina that it isnt biology that makes a father and that she hasnt lost her father, that the only thing thats changed is that they're sisters. Gina tells her that she can understand how Donna feels that way because the only thing thats changed for her is that her father has another child, but it means that her father didnt exist.
Donna takes Gina to her parent's house, where Dr Martin tells Gina they want her to spend Christmas with them. Donna says they'll spend Christmas Eve there and just spend the night but her mother tries to come up with reasons why they dont want to do that. Dr Martin asks how they're supposed to introduce Gina to the guests at their annual Christmas Eve party and Donna tells him as your daughter. He is very uncomfortable and tells Gina that he's not sure how to handle this whole situation or how to tell people. Gina comments that he's only had 24 years to figure that out then gets up and leaves.

Gina asks her just what she thinks she's buying and Felice says her husband has an obligation to Gina. Gina tells her that she couldnt even begin to make a dent in it and gets up and leaves. Later, Gina goes to talk to Dr Martin and tells him she doesnt want his money or his pity. He asks her what she expects and she says she doesnt know. He says he knows she had a father and Gina admits that she can barely remember her father, he's a fantasy her mother made up. He tries to make small talk but its a bit strained.
