Harry meets a lady at The Crybaby Bar, a Christmas femme fatal. Before he knows it, he is outside where he is felled by the x-boyfriend. It's down in the snow, then the backseat of a police cruiser. The passenger cops turns, 'Your only way out of the Crybaby? Make an album, Harry.'

Harry stands on the new stage of 2×4 and plywood at the Crybaby Bar. It is Christmas Eve and though he questions his life, he feels the spirit. He is at peace with all the revellers around him. He has finished his first set and is sitting at his stool at the end of the bar. He is recording an album at The Tarantula Arms and all is well with the world. That’s when a girl sits beside him.

Harry is sceptical, dubious. But in the end he trusts Tipperoo enough to record one old song, 'Didn't I Come Home to You.' The prospect of working on an album gives Harry purpose, though he is breaking his contract.

The question Harrys asks is: “Are people fundamentally alone? Do they feel eternally lonely?” It would answer much. Harry needs to write a song so he thinks back to his first love Anna Baker, a girl at school who like Harry read books. Her brother Alfred joins The Half-Snapped Elastic Band, Harry’s band at 15 years of age.

Jollimore comes off stage and sits with Harry at the Crybaby Bar. The bartender Calvin Swig watches the two, as they talk about old times. Jollimore tells Harry he will need his guitar back. Harry hasn't got it.
