PlotEdit

Curly takes advantage of Alf's trouble by publishing the fact that Bettabuys will honour the vouchers. Vera urges Jack to be supportive of Terry. She ignores the way Terry avoids Tommy. Vicky buys Steve a watch for £250 for Christmas. Andy asks his parents to act like a family and all spend Christmas together. Jim and Liz agree. Alf is defiant despite the fact that the shop is being boycotted. He is stunned to discover that Curly is accepting the vouchers. He rows with Curly in front of Gazette reporter Mark Travis and a load of OAPs. Alf gets angry and pushes a pensioner, photographed by the reporter. Derek buys a living Christmas tree. Terry buys a new suit after getting his compensation for Lisa's death. He gets Des to shake his hand in peace before goading him about the money he's received, saying that Lisa didn't die in vain. Curly stops Des from hitting him. Des remembers Lisa's death and breaks down in the Street. Curly consoles him. Tanya tells Bet about seeing Steve with another girl. Kevin gets annoyed with Sally getting at him and suggests that she leaves him if she's fed up. Derek blows all the fuses in the Street when he lights the outside Christmas tree.
