The factory became rife with gossip about Carla's drink-driving conviction. John was fearful when Fiz arranged for Joy Fishwick to visit for news of Colin. Molly felt touched that Tyrone was determined to give his son a special Christmas, unlike those of his own childhood. Owen told Steve the Rovers had rotten joists. He offered to repair them at cost. Carla tried to talk to Peter but he gave her short shrift and set off to pick up Simon, leaving her angry. John met up with Charlotte again and she told him she couldn't handle sharing him and demanded he left Fiz. Ken looked for Peter at the Joinery but caught Nick with Leanne in a very compromising position in the office. Leanne was horrified as Ken beat a hasty retreat, unsure of what to do for the best.
