Plot[]
'Tis the Season... for Murder!
A flashback reveals that Chucky Prime was able to perform the ritual to swap bodies with Doctor Amanda Mixter before Andy Barclay killed the doll. Now in her body, Chucky retrieves a new Good Guys doll from her office, which he transfers himself into, which results in the police discovering Doctor Mixter's body.
Tiffany undercover... again.
With Glen's condition worsening, Glenda and Tiffany Valentine decide to save them by transferring them into the Glen/Glenda doll. After killing a suspicious cop, they perform the ritual - transferring both twins into the doll, now calling themselves G.G. Tiffany ships G.G. to England, so they can learn more about their origins.
Weeks after returning home, Jake Wheeler and Lexy Cross enlist in group therapy, and Lexy invites Jake and Devon Evans to stay at her house for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Jake and Devon, along with Lexy and Mayor Michelle Cross, mend their respective relationships.
You better watch out. You better not cry. Okay... you can cry a little.
Chucky arrives at the house, as does Tiffany, who is searching for Caroline Cross' Wedding Belle doll. Chucky murders Mayor Cross when she comes down the stairs, by slicing through her head with a chainsaw. Tiffany doesn't intervene when Lexy arrives and kills Chucky. Jake and Devon wound Tiffany, but Caroline, whose mind has been fully twisted by Chucky, claims Tiffany is her real mother and leaves with her and the Belle doll. The next day, Jake, Devon, and Lexy are visited by Miss Fairchild, who believes their stories about Chucky.
Three weeks later, after Tiffany and Caroline move to New York, Tiffany receives a threatening phone call from Nica, who is in New York as well, who swears revenge on her. Tiffany attempts to transfer her soul into the Wedding Belle doll but fails when it's revealed to be Chucky in disguise. He attacks Tiffany as Caroline smiles.
