Jennifer and Jess begin to bond. Meanwhile Clarrie tries to keep the peace.

Jennifer tells Will that Brian has written to Ed about shooting Baz. They're appalled by his actions. Will had a right to be on that land.

Jennifer congratulates Jess on her new job and invites her over for a coffee. They discuss Darrell. Jennifer mentions Greg's suicide and his relationship with Helen. Jess says she likes Ambridge but Rob doesn't want to settle there. Jennifer encourages Jess to have a party. If Rob enjoys himself, he might start to see what he'd be missing.

Ed's suspicious when he turns up to do the turkeys and finds that Clarrie has put up tinsel and brought Christmas food. He's angry when Will arrives unexpectedly. Ed and Will compete over George's Christmas treats. Things come to a head when Will says George is upset because he knows that Ed killed his dog. Ed pushes Will against the wall. Clarrie appears, not realising what's going on, and tells them she's proud of them for putting their differences aside. She invites them both over on Christmas day and they agree to come.

When Clarrie goes, Will tells Ed he doesn't care what Ed thinks of him. He'll pretend for Clarrie. But George hates Ed.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
