Philip turns the screw and Tracy has a brainwave

When the wrong materials are delivered to their site, Blake takes the blame for Gavin with Philip. Philip scares Blake saying the police know he’s behind the Grey Gables explosion and are looking for him. He’s confiscating the Playstation as punishment. Gavin is stunned to learned that Blake has taken the rap for him, and he’s truly grateful. Later, Gavin delivers an old gaming console to Blake, Kenzie and Jordan to replace the Playstation. Gavin lets Blake in on a secret that Philip’s retiring soon and Gavin will be taking over. 
Elizabeth finds Freddie sifting through possible material for his Christmas Show. She thinks he should at least have a shortlist for the first rehearsal later, but Freddie doesn’t think he can narrow it down until he’s sure who’ll be taking part. 
Freddie’s surprised by how keen everyone is at the first rehearsal and starts to doubt his ability to be the director. Tracy tries to lift his spirits and then is struck with inspiration. She goes to Elizabeth with Roman and proposes that Roman becomes the director while Freddie manages the production’s logistics. Elizabeth doesn’t want Freddie to feel side-lined and asserts that the ultimate decision rests with him.
