Highway to Heaven: It's Christmas time and Jonathan and Mark's latest assignment is to try and get two divorced parents, who are still bickering and using their son as a pawn against each other, to stop fighting and start being parents. They go and work for the father, who is a lawyer. They bring their son to a department store and there the new store Santa is upset at the store for promoting toy guns, and when the boy tells Santa what he wants, he tells him that he isn't sure he can give it to him. Later the store throws him out because of his bellowing. He later goes back and is arrested. Jonathan offers to defend him, and the boy's father sees this as an opportunity to get back at his wife, who is the store's counsel. While in jail the Santa manages to lift the spirits of some of the people he meets there, including one of the guards. Mark thinks that if he really is, "the Claus", why doesn't he just whisk himself out of here? But that would not be a good message for the children, so they will have to get him out through the proper channels. At the hearing, Jonathan calls his client to the stand and asks him what the son of his boss wants for Christmas; after hesitating because he feels that it's something between the boy and him, the boy says it's okay. He says that he wants him to make his parents stop fighting and making him choose sides; after his moving speech, the boy's parents get the message and the owner of the store, who filed the complaint against him, implores the judge to let Santa go, which he does.
