Don has made his decision and Hayley is getting hot under the collar.

Fallon finds out that she's Jaxx's new manager. Don was impressed with her warmth and charm. Kenton's thrilled and suggests they have champagne to celebrate. Fallon tells him that she wants to keep it low key for the time being.

Brenda's stressed out by Matt's moods and James's impending stay at the Dower House. At the pub, Tom's pesters Brenda for Christmas food ideas. She tells him to chill; they'll think of something sooner or later. Rhys chats about the rehearsals for their extract from Much Ado. He muses on the fact that it's about two people who have lots in common, but don't want to admit it to each other.

Fallon reveals quietly to Rhys that she's got the job at Jaxx. Rhys is genuinely pleased for her but conflicted. Fallon's happy but will miss The Bull. Each is set slightly off kilter by the other's brightness. 

Hayley's feeling the pressure of the business consultant's visit to Lower Loxley. He's putting everything under the microscope. She tells Brenda everyone at Lower Loxley is on edge. And it's worse for her and Roy. What if both of their jobs go?
