Mike's in the mood for dancing, and Neil needs back-up.

At Neil's request, Neil and Ruth go through Ed's accounts. His money management is in a mess with no real budgeting or forward planning. Neil asks Ruth not to let on to proud Ed that they've had this meeting. But Ruth does want to speak to David, who is also concerned. Ed clearly needs decent dairy management software. Ruth has told Neil she'll show Ed how they run their budget, although finding the right moment to approach Ed with an offer of help may be tricky.

At Lower Loxley, David and Elizabeth discuss the gargantuan amounts of food for tomorrow and share a joke about Christmases past.

Vicky's delighted when Mike returns home. He's free now for 36 whole hours! Noticing all the sewing work Vicky's been doing for the show, Mike says she should take things easier. They cosy up as Mike says how lovely Vicky has made the place look. Then they enjoy a romantic dance together before Mike treats himself to a beer. Vicky looks ahead to next Christmas, and despite a slightly warning tone from Mike he joins her. He tells Vicky how amazing she is, with enough belief to get them both to where they are now.
