For Christmas, Harry prepares a golden heart-shaped necklace for Mia after she says her famous phrase:
I don't want anything I need. I need what I want – something beautiful.
When Karen discovers the necklace in Harry's coat pocket, she is sure she bought it for him. But on Christmas Day, when he opened his gift, he was shocked to see that he had received a CD.
