Everyone was caught off-guard with Stefon storming out of John's office all of a sudden.
Leslie asked, "What's the matter with him? He was happy when he gave us these mini-bags full of bite-sized chocolates earlier." John suggested, "Let's say we look for him before we continue."
Everyone agreed, so some of the cast members started looking for Stefon throughout the studio.
A few minutes later, Andy found Stefon inside some comfort room within the studio, crying softly to himself inside a cubicle. When he followed Stefon's voice, he knocked inside the cubicle and asked, "May I come in, Stefon?" As he heard the door unlock, Andy immediately gave Stefon a hug. He asked, "What's going on? Is something wrong?"
Stefon didn't answer, but hugged Andy back instead.
Once Stefon calmed down a few minutes later, he told Andy, "Let's just go back to John's office." Andy wiped Stefon's tears, smiled at him, nodded, and replied, "Sure thing, Stefon. Let's go."
Stefon went with Andy back to John's office a few moments later.
As Stefon returned, he went back to the middle and said, "Sorry for causing a scene a while ago. I just remembered... that I let everyone down after what me and Seth Meyers went through... I'm so sorry. It was never my intention to drag this show through mud and back."
Everyone groaned in disappointment as Stefon started crying again.
So, the cast members took turns in giving Stefon a hug. When John hugged Stefon, he said, "This show has been through lots of shit, Stefon. Don't you ever think that what happened to you and Seth was the worst thing that this show went through, OK? Because guess what? Even after every controversy that we faced since 1975, we're still on air."
Stefon hugged John back and cried on his shirt for a few minutes before he calmed down.
As Stefon pulled away, he wiped his tears and said, "Thank y'all for being so kind to me." Everyone smiled at Stefon and replied altogether, "You're our family, Stefon. You always will be."
Stefon chuckled softly.
Afterwards, Seth gave Stefon his gift to him and said, "I know you remember me telling you that I'll help you in any way that I can." As Stefon nodded, Seth said further, "Go ahead and open it, Stefon." All of a sudden, John blurted out, "Why don't you open your gifts together?"
Seth and Stefon nodded.
Every cast member besides Stefon let out awws when Seth's gift was revealed to be suits and slacks for him to wear for future episodes of Weekend Update, with a "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" button on one of the suits. As Stefon opened his gift, he noticed a piece of paper along with accessories that Seth bought for him. He thought, "What could this be about?"
When Stefon grabbed the paper, he screamed loudly as he started reading what was on it.
Stefon blurted out, "Did you just... Seth Meyers! Is this serious?" Seth Meyers hugged Stefon and replied, "I told you I'd help you with it." Stefon hugged back and said, "Thank you so much!"
Once everyone got curious, Stefon revealed that Seth paid off his student loans from the university that he dropped out from prior to auditioning for Saturday Night Live, so everyone clapped.
John then said, "Well, everyone, I hope all of you had fun today! Again, let's wish Seth a happy birthday today, and I'll see all of you next season." Everyone cheered as Secret Santa ended.
