Gavin reaches the end of his tether and Jazzer calls a truce

Kirsty finds Gavin heading out. He says he’s going to his Mum’s and doesn’t know how long for. Kirsty asks if he’s gambling again and Gavin admits all that was a lie. He tells Kirsty she’s a lovely person but needs to open her eyes, and then leaves. 

Eddie reports to Jazzer how Vince has been putting up the decorations at Lower Loxley. He’s not sure why he’s been putting in the effort. Tracy’s surprised to learn that Jazzer is doing a reading in the show. She needles him about the bother he caused with Brad, and Eddie has to calm things down between them. But Jazzer’s had enough and leaves. Eddie thinks Tracy should give Jazzer a break but she can’t help it if he rubs her up the wrong way. Later Jazzer’s surprised to hear Tracy compliment his performance. He apologises for selling his homebrew to Brad and the two of them agree a truce. 

Roy finds Kirsty as she arrives later than planned for the Christmas Show. She seems distracted and he asks if she’s OK. She insists she is. Just before the show’s about to start Kirsty tells Roy what happened with Gavin. She wonders if Philip is having an affair. After the show Roy tries to buoy Kirsty. She shouldn’t allow her past let down with Tom cause problems now. But Kirsty’s sure there is something that’s being hidden from her. Roy advises all she can do is ask Philip for the truth.
