Reba begins to feel more comfortable in her relationship with Brian so she bravely invites him home to meet her family. Meanwhile, Brock and the kids are less than enthusiastic after they learn they have to attend Barbra Jean's family reunion in Fisheye Bottom. At the reunion, Brock runs scared of Barbra Jean's gun-toting father, Big Daddy, and Barbra Jean finds herself the butt of the joke when it comes to her older sister and brother-in-law.

Reba is disappointed to learn she'll be spending Christmas Eve alone, but while paying a visit to the local homeless shelter she meets a special person who teaches her the true meaning of the holiday season. Meanwhile, Cheyenne and Van's plan to start a new holiday tradition backfires; and Reba and Brock argue over who will be the one to give Jake his first bike for Christmas.

Kyra's decision to move in with Brock and Barbra Jean leaves Reba reeling while the rest of the family tries to sort out their feelings of hurt, anger, and guilt. A series of flashbacks revisits the turbulent milestones in the family history that led them to this point including when Barbara Jean first meets the Hart family, where we find out Brock used to find her really annoying and Reba thought she was nice.

Reba is happy to find out that she and Kyra are closer than ever since Kyra moved in with Brock and Barbra Jean. Kyra's behavior is driving Brock and Barbra Jean crazy. Meanwhile, Cheyenne's snoring is causing problems for Van.

Cheyenne announces that she will pursue a career in ""dentisting"", so she can be like her Dad. Reba tries to point her in a less ambitious direction.

Reba convinces Barbra Jean her house is haunted by the previous owner, but the joke wears thin when Barbra Jean moves in with her. After a ""ghost-ridding"" ceremony, Reba finds out that after all this time Barbara Jean thinks she stole Brock from her.

Kyra and Barbra Jean hide a stray cat in the attic so Brock won't have an allergic reaction to the animal, but it turns out that Barbra Jean and Cheyenne are the ones who are really allergic to cats. Meanwhile, Reba and Brock use outrageous gifts to compete for Jake's affection.

Van has a big away game coming up, but his superstistions for winning are getting on Cheyenne's nerves. The two of them ask Barabara Jean to watch Elizabeth while they're gone. After learning that Barabra Jean once lost Henry at the mall, Reba tries to take Elizabeth for herself. When that doesn't work, Reba offers to go to the zoo with Henry, BJ, and Elizabeth. At the end, Reba is forced to admit some of her feelings to Barabra Jean, who in turn, gloats in a Broadway-style song. Brock, Kyra, and Jake all only make 2 appearances in the show.

Reba and a pregnant Cheyenne realize that Kyra had too much freedom at Brock and Barbra Jean's. Meanwhile, Jake finds himself accidentally trying out for the wheelchair basketball team and pretends to be handicap to become their star player.
