Mary calls at No.3 to drop off a Christmas card for Norris. Jed enlists her help to unravel the fairy lights. Norris arrives home and is put out to see them looking so cosy. Mary assures him that she's not attracted to Jed. Leanne's cross with Peter and tells him that he can stick his job. Peter apologises and eventually she agrees to stay on at the bookies. Rosie's squeezing a spot in the mirror when Carla takes a picture of her on her phone. Carla promises to make her life a misery.

She tells Maria she only slept with Liam once when he and Maria had split up. Maria's hatred of Carla is evident. Ken, Deirdre and Blanche go to watch Simon's nativity play.
