Just when the ladies thought the coast was clear, Jill shows up for a surprise and instead of a warm welcome Alex has a panic attack.  Back in the city, Luann and Jill take Kelly out to lunch to hear her side of the story and she acts like she was a victim of the other ladies, but Luann doesn't believe her story and wants to hear the other side of things.  Then Jill throws herself a holiday party in an ice rink.  There were so many ups and downs, twists and twirls in the episode, but I can help you break it down one giggle at a time.
