There鈥檚 a Christmas crisis at The Bull, and Emma faces a surprise backlash.

Robert bumps into Emma and asks if she鈥檒l be at the Parish Council meeting tomorrow. She hasn鈥檛 been there for a while. When Emma admits it鈥檚 because she can鈥檛 face it, Robert gently encourages her to go saying no-one there would judge her. Later, Robert drops by to see Emma at The Tearoom where she tells him that she鈥檚 decided to go. But Robert has some unsettling news; someone鈥檚 complained about Emma鈥檚 role on the Council. Robert doesn鈥檛 know who, but it relates to her part in withholding information from the police about George. Upset Emma says she won鈥檛 be at the meeting tomorrow after all, even though Robert tries to convince her otherwise.

Kenton and Jolene are concerned about the lack of customers at The Bull with Christmas just around the corner. Mick suggests that they could do a Santa brunch. Kenton reckons it鈥檚 a good idea but it鈥檚 too late to find a Father Christmas in time. Mick solves the problem by putting himself forward and they decide to do a brunch next Sunday. Although it鈥檒l be tight, they can advertise and Wayne鈥檚 had some ideas for the menu. When Jolene says it鈥檚 kind of Mick to be Santa for nothing, Kenton points out that his van is parked on the car park. Mick fits the part when he reappears in a Santa outfit that he's borrowed from Tony. But when he tries out his Santa voice, Jolene and Kenton are stunned. When he鈥檚 gone they wonder what to do; Mick鈥檚 Santa sounds really scary but neither of them want to let Mick down.
