He tells Chance that she has lost sight of the things that are truly important in life and that she will have further visitation to show her the errors of her ways and save her from his own fate.

Her first visitor is a crooner, the Ghost of Christmas Past (Jim O'Heir), followed by a spoken word poet, the Ghost of Christmas Present (Mark Christopher Lawrence) and finally Death (Vivica A. Fox) Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.
