Helen gets a surprise and Emma saves the day.
At Grange Farm, Clarrie finds Ed and Will attempting to bake mince pies for the 鈥淕rundy World of Christmas鈥�. Clarrie鈥檚 appalled that they are heating the mincemeat, and adding brandy. She firmly corrects them on their technique. Eddie texts Ed to say that some elf costumes are ready for collection, and Ed spots a chance to escape. He and Will claim that it鈥檚 a job that requires both of their input, and Clarrie is left alone with the baking.
Clarrie鈥檚 surprised when Emma arrives at Grange Farm with some mince pies. Emma stays to help with the baking. They鈥檙e soon bickering over jelly sweets 鈥� just like old times. Clarrie has missed having Emma as part of the family. They laugh as they sample Ed and Will鈥檚 awful mince pies.
Lee comes to Bridge Farm, and apologises for running out on Helen. Helen also apologises for how their relationship ended earlier in the year. Lee still can鈥檛 understand why that happened. Helen finally summons the strength to tell him about her marriage to Rob. Contrary to Helen鈥檚 deepest fears, Lee doesn鈥檛 find the truth off-putting, and is in fact very supportive. Lee starts to say that he hopes they can be friends, but Helen impulsively kisses him. She apologises 鈥� this isn鈥檛 the closure he was looking for! But he kisses her back. Neither is sure where to go from here鈥�
