Eureka

'Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house...

That is, all through me...

Not a creature was stirring,

except sheriff Carter and doctor Blake.

Wow. Think you went a little overboard

decking the halls here?

I think that S.A.R.A.H. looks beautiful.

Thank you, Dr. Blake.

I feel so festive.

Hey, can you hand me the talking polar bear over there?

- Jenna is dying for it. - Yeah.

Wow, then, uh... then you're almost done, right?

I'm in the homestretch.

Let's see, I've stuffed the stockings,

hung the mistletoe, roasted chestnuts...

And... Oh, man.

I forgot the silicon air battery.

Oh, no, not the silicon air...

What are we going to do without a silicon air battery?

It's the power source for one of Jenna's gifts.

You're going to get it now?

Trust me, once she opens it,

she's going to want to use it right away.

Ally...

Why don't you just sit down, huh?

Relax, enjoy the holidays?

Have you met me before? This is how I enjoy it.

Honey, this is the one time a year we can make a little magic.

And don't think I haven't seen you and Henry conspiring.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

None at all.

See, it's just our folks.

Jenna thought she heard Santa Claus.

What are you doing awake?

Okay, listen, those gifts are from us,

but if you want Santa to bring his presents,

you're going to have to go to sleep.

Yeah, good luck with that.

and then we can all open our presents together.

- Say, "yes, mommy." - Yes, mommy.

That's my girl.

All right, baby, I will be back in a bit.

All right, me too.

I'm going to go check on Andy.

Not even a robot should be alone on Christmas Eve.

All right, one story, and right to bed.

- I'll try. - Oh.

They all wanted to make the perfect Christmas,

but this was Eureka.

Hi, guys.

Managed to, uh, sneak away. We still on schedule?

Yes, sirree, all systems go for operation Ho, Ho, Ho.

That's our code name for the big Christmas-morning surprise.

Ingenious.

And I made all the kids' favorites...

Snickerdoodles, fudge, fruitcake.

Yeah, we're almost set up here.

You want a... You want a sneak peek?

Yeah, hit me.

Here we go.

That's a peek, all right.

Don't worry... A few minor adjustments,

and your winter wonderland

will be up and running again in no time.

I Hope so.

It's my only wish this Christmas.

I have one, too.

And I have been such a good boy.

You don't actually...

Of course you do,

I just hope that Henry and Fargo

have the snow-making machine ready.

You mean the super-photon generator?

Sure. Yeah.

Just can't wait to see the kids' faces when they wake up

and the whole town's covered in snow.

It's going to be awesome.

"He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

"and away they all flew like the down of a thistle,

"but I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,

'Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night.'"

Let's play.

Jenna, we have to go to bed.

There's no way she's going to go.

Well, maybe you could help?

I don't know. Let her open her present.

You want to open a present?

Okay, yeah, like your mom would be okay with that.

That's not how your family does Christmas.

Yeah, but Jack says you guys always open one present

on Christmas Eve.

And aren't we a part of your family now?

Wow. You're good.

Okay, Jenna, one present,

then we have to go to sleep, okay?

Sit.

Oh, my God.

It's Holotown.

What's it do?

"Imagine a journey with turns and twists,

your greatest adventure within exists."

"You make the choices, decide what, where, and when.

Create your own Holotown. Ready? Begin."

You want to play?

Yes? Okay, let's do it.

Oh, I don't think we can. There's no battery.

Oh, well, beddy-bye time.

I bet I can find something to start it up.

Be right back.

Thanks, Kevin.

Thanks, Kevin.

Allison?

Oh. Sorry.

You startled me.

I wasn't expecting anyone to be here.

Oh, well, I need this for one of Jenna's presents.

What are you still doing here?

I let my team have the night off.

You know, you can activate automatic security protocols.

You don't have to work on Christmas Eve either.

Why don't you come over?

Oh, uh, thanks.

Um, but I'm good.

- Hmm. - I like it like this.

It's the only time it's calm at G.D.

When will I learn?

System overload... Shut it down.

I'm trying. I've lost contact.

There's some sort of interference.

- I should have known. - What is going on?

- Uh, nothing. - Really?

Because it looks like our super-photon generator

has gone berserk.

Well, it's just a glitch which we can't seem to identify.

Now, Fargo, you have inspected the generator site

and confirmed the connections?

I made a list. I checked it twice.

Why are you two messing with this stuff now?

It's classified.

But... Ah, no need to panic.

I can restore contact from here.

You were saying?

Hmm.

Hey, guys?

What is that?

Must be the super-photon generator.

Huh.

Maybe they set it off early.

That just means more snow, right?

Uh, that doesn't look like snow.

Definitely not snow!

Definitely not snow.

EUREKA Christmas Special - Do you see what I see -

Do you see what I see?

Either that, or I'm dreaming. Pinch me, sheriff.

Take my word for it. You're awake.

Andy, why are we cartoons?

I believe we only appear to be.

The explosion of super-photons must have changed

the way our eyes are translating light.

It may be altering our perception.

You ask for a simple white Christmas, right?

A little bit of snow.

Allison? Small issue.

We noticed. We're working on it.

Fargo and Henry lost communication

with the super-photon generator.

Did they tell you what they were doing?

It's classified, apparently.

Good. Um, hey...

How long is this misperception thing going to last?

The super-photons haven't dissipated,

which means the generator is still leaking.

Jack, you'll have to stop the flow manually.

Manually.

I'll meet you at the site.

You hear that?

Yeah, so it's temporary.

We patch the leak, back to normal.

- Better be. - The kids...

I tried them... Can't get through.

Probably asleep.

Will S.A.R.A.H.'s shielding protect them?

Yes, but we have to fix this by morning,

or there goes our perfect Christmas.

I'm on it.

I've been planning this surprise for weeks.

- Why is there always a hitch? - Don't worry, boss.

There's plenty of time to fix this.

It's only midnight.

Not anymore.

Huh.

Yeah, that's how you make it morning.

You push the sun for daytime,

and then you push the moon for night.

Sweet.

- Let me try. - Kevin, it's Jenna's.

It only works 'cause of my hover board battery.
