Neil is feeling frazzled, while Shula and Elizabeth consider an important purchase.

Christine's grateful to Neil for holding the ladder while Jim fixes her gutter. She knows how easily an accident can happen - poor Peggy's sprained her ankle by tripping over her cat. Neil remarks that cats are like other people's children - always getting under your feet. In return for putting up Christine's Christmas lights, Jim asks her to keep an eye on Joe, who'll be switching on Jim's lights on Thursday.

Shula takes Elizabeth to see Casper, a potential pony for Freddie. They agree he seems ideal. Elizabeth hopes Freddie will like him. She wants him and Lily to have a really good birthday to balance out some of the bad memories. Everything's in place for "Deck The Hall" and Elizabeth talks fondly of Nigel. Shula assures her that none of them have forgotten him. She asks Elizabeth if she's decided about joining them for Christmas dinner. Elizabeth's still not sure.

Neil's annoyed to learn that Tracy has no intention of moving out any time soon. She's enquired about moving the children to Loxley Barrett school after Christmas. Susan thinks she'll be good company once she's more settled. Neil just wants to know exactly how long she'll be around.
