There's an unexpected arrival in Ambridge.

There's an unexpected arrival in Ambridge, and Christine seeks reassurance.

Pat can't stop thinking about Rich, and asks Susan out of the blue if she knows Sharon's married name. She assumes Rich is short for Richard but can't believe Sharon would call her son Richard Richards. Susan doesn't know Sharon's surname, and doesn't feel comfortable asking for it. Pat asks her to forget she ever mentioned it.

Lynda tries to persuade Jim to sing rather than recite at the Christmas show. But Jim is adamant his singing would empty the village hall, so it's recitation or nothing.

With the egregious Clive Horrobin now departed, Jim suggests it's probably time he went home. Christine calls on Neil and Susan, who confirm that Clive really is gone for good. Although there's no longer a need for Jim to live with Christine, she invites him to stay for a final dinner and offers him a spare key. 

Susan's feeling the strain of working full time and trying to run two households, but sees no alternative. Out of the blue, Tracy turns up. She's left Den and brought the children with her. They have nowhere else to go.
