Kirsty makes a big decision and Tracy attempts to cover her true feelings

Susan’s expecting a call from Radio Borsetshire any day with Tracy’s petition for her return to the station proving popular, and her replacement presenter the opposite. Susan tells Tracy she doesn’t have to pretend she’s fine with Roman’s departure but Tracy says she hasn’t got time to think about him. While on the phone to Susan, Tracy spots a light on in the cricket pavilion and suspects a break in. 

Tracy discovers Jazzer’s used a spare key of Jim’s to store some of his homebrew at the cricket pavilion. He’s spotted it’s been peppered with knick-knacks, and Tracy has to own up to her own personal uses of the place – space away from her family and privacy for her and Roman! Jazzer strikes a deal to keep his homebrew there in exchange for his silence on Tracy’s pavilion activities. Worried for Tracy after their phone call, Susan arrives and teases Tracy about Jazzer fancying her as he departs. 

Roy’s brought more of Kirsty’s things from her Beechwood home. Since Christmas Eve she’s been staying with Roy and she apologises for spoiling his Christmas. Kirsty feels bad for being nasty to Roy when he’d queried Philip being Blake’s uncle. She doesn’t think she can do the Christmas Show tomorrow and she asks Roy to call Freddie for her. Then, Kirsty’s phone rings – it’s Rhiannon, Philip’s ex-wife. Police have been to Rhiannon’s looking for Gavin but he’s not there. Rhiannon has also heard from Philip, now on bail, but he doesn’t know where Gavin could be. Rhiannon’s sure Philip’s the one at fault. She’s worried sick about her son. Later, Kirsty tells Roy she’s going to get a solicitor to start divorce proceedings.
