PlotEdit

Denise appreciates Don staying with her. Mavis offers to help Emily's Crisis at Christmas campaign but is horrified when Emily arranges for her to look after an OAP on Christmas Day. Denise tells Bet that she feels Tanya might be making the calls. Bet confronts Tanya but Tanya swears her innocence. Bet tells her that she doesn't like her attitude and wants her to change it. Curly hosts the Bettabuys staff party and tries to stop everyone drinking. Deirdre is put out when Tracy and Craig invite noisy friends to the house. Elaine Fenwick gets drunk at the party and is all over Curly. She invites him up to her hotel room. The Wiltons are stunned when they're told that their OAP is Percy. Maureen surprises Reg by booking a room at the hotel for the night so they can consummate their love. Curly is annoyed when Elaine falls asleep before anything happens. Wanting nothing to come between them, Reg confesses to Maureen that he has slept with Brenda Fallingthorpe from Head Office. She is relieved and admits that she slept with Curly. Reg is stunned.
