*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Ryan, and the World, are officially introduced to the bi-religious holiday Chrismukkah, thanks to Seth. And Seth insists he has TWO Godly forces helping him as he plays TWO girls. Marissa has some 'discount shopping' to do, and finds herself in an embarrassing situation, or two, or three. Kirsten does something that could cost her more than just her job. Summer and Anna each have very special gifts for Seth, but which one will he like the most? And a new boy enters the Newport scene.

Wow, Chrismukkah is really a special event in the show! It's very Seth-like and it's amazing.

Marissa is getting more troubled day after day, while Ryan wants a normal holiday, with no drinking, crying or cops.

Seth receives his gifts from Anna and Summer, Anna gives him a handmade comic book, while Summer dresses herself in Wonder Woman for Seth. Eventually, the two girls pressure Seth on choosing between them.
