Phoebe is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Phoebe is stuck between a rock and a hard place, and Charlie has a suggestion for Adam.

Phoebe rejects Roy's Christmas gift to her, a tablet. Kate had got in first and bought Phoebe an iPad. Besides, declares Phoebe, Roy will never have enough money to buy her forgiveness.

As stung Roy tries to leave, he is confronted by angry Kate. She can't believe he would come visiting unbidden, and upset Phoebe like that. Roy pleads his side of the story, and begs Kate to talk Phoebe round. After all, Kate is hardly a role model herself. Kate refuses. Adam tells Roy to keep his pecker up His sister always speaks before she thinks. Roy promises he'll try.

Lynda's technical rehearsal has been a disaster. Roy offers to do a double shift at Grey Gables on Christmas Eve, so that she can squeeze in another rehearsal. She's very grateful. Roy's fine with it; it's not as if he has anything better to do.

Adam is not looking forward to the party with the Borchester Land board, and more specifically Charlie Thomas. Kate detects a frisson, but Adam brushes it off.

At the party, Adam receives a very generous Secret Santa gift - an engraved hipflask. Charlie showers him with compliments about his work. But when Charlie suggests they go on to a club in town, Adam declines. Maybe another time.
