Lucy, who received a paper crown and a joke, reads her joke aloud: "What do reindeer hang on their Christmas trees? Answer: Hornaments." Lucy then opens her cracker and gets a small toy, which she compares to Kurt's photo. Lucy shares a chaotic childhood Christmas memory involving her dad bringing home a PlayStation 1 while her step-parents were moving into a new house.

He then mentions that the game, likely a sequel to 'Planescape: Torment' called 'Torment: Tides of Numenera,' was always released around the holidays, which was inconvenient.
