At work on Christmas Eve, Jenna gifts Amber some Christmas cookies. The next day, Amber goes to the Parrish home to celebrate, giving gifts to everyone. The extravagance makes Amber’s jealousy grow as she thinks about her many childhood Christmases in poverty. Daphne gives Amber a pearl necklace, the first genuine jewelry she has ever owned. Amber gifts Jackson a book about cave paintings and re-gifts Jenna’s cookies, claiming she made them. This cements her bond with Bella.
