Carrie, Austin, and Billie are at Carrie's apartment. At the bottom of the screen we see the following words:
The Role Of Carrie Brady Is Now Being Played By Christie Clark
As they are getting out Christmas Decorations , Austin's fight is put back to the New Year and They wonder where they are going to get the next five grand installment for the loan shark. Billie sees a diamond earring and Carrie tells her that John gave them to her for her high school graduation but she lost one. Austin tells her not to sell the remaining one - it has sentimental value. However later she comes home with a gift as does he. She gives him a phonogram to play his old records and he gives her a diamond earring to match hers. The only problem is she sold her other earring to buy him the record player and he sold his records to buy her the earring.
