A riot of an episode. Patsy plans on going away for holiday with Eddy, but Eddy wants to stay with her new granddaughter and Saffy. Patsy throwing a fit and then collapsing was funny, and then when she is rushed to the hospital, it gets serious. However, when she switches the oxygen supply, and requests all the drugs that are in cigarettes, it gets funny again. Once again, we deal with Patsy's sister, who ends up getting what she deserves.
I thought this was a really good episode. I have the DVD of this season, and the bloopers are even funnier. Like all the episodes of AbFab, I recommend watching this one, especially around the holidays.moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Eddie spends her first Christmas at home, much to Saffy's chagrin, and goes all out for the festivities. John is preoccupied with knowing the details of Justin's sex life. Marshall and Bo arrive for Christmas with their details of the infomercial they've been doing "since the bottom fell out of the baby business." Patsy, who detests Christmas, is happy when she collapses and gets to spend a few days on drugs in the hospital... though it seems that her condition may be more dire than anyone realized.moreless

QUOTES (3)
ADD QUOTES-
John: When I look at Saffron, I think about maximum intimate relations! But when I look at her mother, Edininia... nothing! So I was wondering, if when you had intimate relations with her, you thought that she was a man. Justin: That may well explain it!
-
Saffy: Christmas is about doing things. When you come to have the meal it will taste that much better because you've done it yourself. Patsy: Yeah, that's the theory they have at rehab. Yeah, it works for me. Yeah, darling. "Would you like a drink?" "Yes I would." "Well pour it yourself." "Yes I will, thank you very much, well done. Cheers, sweetie!"
-
Gran: There was always more stuffing in your mother at Christmas than there was in the turkey.
