Christmas Night

Christmas Night is the fifth episode of the second season of The ACS, and the twenty-third episode overall. In this episode, JJam insists that John, Collector, and Wario accompany him home for the Christmas holiday, as the three of them have no family. Meanwhile, Bagel makes his annual visit to the New City orphanage, to ask the kids what they want for Christmas. They eagerly show him a commercial for a toy, "MasterSSKirby" but Bagel finds all the stores sold out. However, the last toy was stolen by the three villainous dames, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, who Nozus is in hot pursuit of.
==Plot==
In New City, Lachesis bemoans her fate to her sisters, Clotho and Atropos, as they stay holed up in a scuzzy hotel. With a raised eyebrow of devious foreboding, Atropos assures her rambunctious sister that she has a plan that will make it "the happiest holiday ever". Meanwhile, Bagel makes his annual visit to the New City orphanage, to ask the kids what they want for Christmas. They eagerly show him a commercial for a toy, "MasterSSKirby" but Bagel finds all the stores sold out. Walking through the street, however, Bagel finds the toy plopped in an alley.
On his way to retrieve it, he is instead greeted by Atropos, with a look on his face like he cannot resist her every command no matter how hard he tries. Bagel is forced into their car, where Clotho explains that they intend to have a night on the town at Bagel's expense. The girls shop endlessly buying clothes and jewels, all the while Bagel begrudgingly (yet uncontrollably) puts it all on his credit cards. At the mall, the silhouette of the Nozus can be seen swooping after them.
At the ACS HQ, JJam insists that John, Collector, and Wario accompany him home for the Christmas holiday, as the three of them have no family, and they all reluctantly agree. After a euphoric plane ride, JJam hails a cab and the men ride to a suburban community near Quibblobicus. JJam's parents welcome their guests, but John and Collector feel slightly uncomfortable.
When Lachesis spots Nozus through the back window, Atropos wastes no time in making an escape: she grabs the wheel of the car and ram raids a toy factory. Probing through the pitch black with his flashlight, Nozus soon needn't wonder where they've gone to as a huge toy soldier comes crashing down nearly upon him. Looking up, he see's the trio taunting him atop a citadel of toys, while also threatening to drop Bagel. After catching Bagel from falling, Nozus ascends the tower only to find a boxing glove by Clotho and a wooden sledge hammer from Lachesis. Plummeting to the bottom, the girls cannot resist a gloat as they make – what they believe will be – their exit. But the quick minded Nozus has other plans: he snags the base of a massive Christmas tree with a wire, which he then yanks hard, causing it to topple over directly on the would-be escapees.
Wario and John decide to take a walk through the town on Christmas Eve, impressed by the cheerful friendliness of the passers-by. Telepathically hearing a little girl question the existence of Santa Claus, John climbs up and lands on her roof, climbing down the chimney to eat the cookies she left out. As Wario heads back to the house, John makes one final stop at a church, where inside people are singing carols.
Bagel recovers the MasterSSKirby toy and gives it to the cheering children. In Nicktropolis, Web is celebrating Christmas with Lamarr and Romen. Elsewhere, JJam awakes on Christmas Day, and listens with his parents as Collector sings a hauntingly beautiful song. Wario is seen dreaming about his parents, and John is in his room with a bible.
