In the past, Catherine and Eden were best friends. When Eden came to her house to celebrate Christmas, she gave her a snow globe that plays "O Christmas Tree" as a present. She also made dresses for herself and Eden and they together perform "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas". In the present, Catherine comes to the workplace and sees the other employees throwing tomatoes on Eden's picture. They thought she would get angry, but instead, she joins them. After that, she goes to an orphanage and gives outfits as gifts to the orphans. They wear the dresses and sing in the little show Catherine organized for them. In Eden's potential future, she fired Catherine and everyone else from the Gadshill Theatre for coming in late to work on Christmas morning. This forced her to scramble for work elsewhere. Finally, she found another job, but it took her out of town for months. By the time Catherine got back to town for Christmas, she was financially secured and ready to adopt Tammy as her own child. Unfortunately, the orphanage closed down while she was away, and the orphans were gone in an attempt to try and fend for themselves. After that, she became less caring, corrupted, and crueler to her own co-workers. This showed, she took the harsh lessons that Eden gave her to heart. When the visibly poor Eden came to her store for help, Catherine refused and repeated everything she had said. Before leaving, she offers Eden a scarf and it fell in the snow. When Catherine noticed Chuzzlewit in the store and planning to stay with her, she ordered the Seamstress to get rid of him. The next morning, after Eden had learned her lesson, she and Catherine visit the orphanage to help the orphans. Then Freddy takes them in a carriage ride to Catherine's house and finally asks Catherine for a date.
