    Ryan wants to invite Taylor to Christmukkah dinner but when she finds a letter from Marissa he changes his mind. They fight and both fall from a ladder and end up in a coma. They go to a parallel universe where everything is just wrong and they have to fix something in their life to come back. Taylor confronts her mother and Ryan says good bye to Marissa.

    A Christmukkah miracle! This episode is very different, but I loved it. The idea is pretty good and it is fun to watch them all in a parallel universe. It was pretty exciting at the moment where we saw we will see Marissa again, but turned out in that universe she died from the overdose. Well, now finally he can move on.

Ryan wants to invite Taylor to the Cohen's dinner but he finds a letter from Marissa and he hesitates when Taylor comes to bring him his present. In attempt to escape from her he climbs to the roof of pool house. But Taylor doesn't give up and she climbs on the ladder but when she reaches the to the top she and Ryan falls to the ground.

    Outside begins to rain. ... but when Ryan awakes he sees a cloudless blue sky. And then some strange things happen. Ryan: " Alright, you want the truth? Huh? " Seth: " I know the truth! " Ryan: " You know the truth? " Seth: " Yeah! " Ryan: " I'm from an alternate universe where your dad adopted me and you and Summer are in love and, unless i don't fix things here, which means getting your parents and you and Summer together, I can't go home! " Seth: " I always knew this will happen! "

    Everybody goes mad come the Festive Season. It is standard TV care in the relationship dramas to have Valentine episodes, Halloween episodes, Thanksgiving... Generally I am very cautious of the Christmas episodes, ever since BEVERLY HILLS 90210 featured an impending accident with a bus, with the two buses avoiding collision by passing through each other. Well, gee, that is, like, very heart-warming, and feel free to include such a story-line in the TV Movie of the week, but keep it away from reality-based TV shows. Unsatisfactory drivel undermining the credibility of the show, stretching the believability factor.

    Tonight it's Ryan and Taylor Townsend falling off a ladder together, knocked out the both of them, they wake up in an alternate universe (hell, isn't California already?) and they have to fix up the relationships between key characters who have now drifted apart. I have one word for you, no, make it two: Utter disorientation. This episode, I see that other reviewer gave it a 10, but this, this is absolute junk. We do need to see Ryan sitting there at him and Marissa's meeting place, the old lifeguard tower, but the stuff I am complaining about is the drawn-out dream that covers about 90% of the episode. This is a totally unpopular episode with me. The series suffers from the loss of Mischa Barton, they underplay bright newcomer Willa Holland, and they push this garbage through as an actual episode? I think Autumn Reeser is doing great, don't get me wrong, I like her, the crazy coo-coo dolly bird, but there is no denying that "the gap is just too big to fill" and there is only one who comes close, Willa.

    Two things:

    (1) They never should have given Mischa Barton the option to decide Marissa's fate by deciding whether she was (a) going to stay and play a character going in a wilder direction than the actress was willing to portray, or (b) quitting the show, thereby causing the Season 3 final episode's outcome. She chose the latter, and this doomed the show. A compromise should have been made, simply no more raunchy scenes with sweaty surfer-types for Princess Mischa. There would have been a full-length Season 4 and even, I'm sure, a Season 5!

    (2) Wouldn't it have been great tonight if Ryan had stayed in the alternate universe? The show needed to get rid of him, he is boring. Yeah, ol' tough guy "Mr. Muscle" Ryan, who comes across like a storm brewing... in a tea-cup.

    All the male characters have lost all their appeal. Seth too. Sandy as well. Even Summer is fizzling out. Kirsten's kinda still okay, but it's only Julie and Taylor Townsend that's on the rise (of the older characters) and newcomer Kaitlin steals the scene every time she is on the screen.

    Well, only nine more to go...

    This episodes mainly about Ryan and Taylor.

    Taylor comes to gift Ryan, when he's up on the ladder, putting up the Chrismukk-huh decorations. When Taylor accidentally loses balance and falls, Ryan grabs her wrist to save her. They both fall and are unconscious.

    But in the unconsciousness, they go into an alternate universe, where they have to fix what's wrong to go back into their real universe. Everything's all jumbled up.

    Che and Summer's engaged, and Summer's a bimbo. Kaitlin is a good girl. Julie Cooper and Sandy Cohen are married. Sandy's mayor, Julie's some charity organizer. Taylor is a boy. (So there are two Taylor's, one girl, one boy.) Ryan doesn't exist. Kirsten and Jimmy are married. And Seth is a loner.

    They eventually fix everything back together and return to the real world, where they are in the hospital.
