Tony makes a mistake and Helen's feeling loved up.
Lee visits Bridge Farm, hoping to see Helen. She鈥檚 happy for him to join her Christmas shopping, although she has to be home for dinner. It鈥檚 Pat and Tony鈥檚 45th wedding anniversary. Lee reveals that he鈥檚 broken up with his girlfriend. Helen is the woman with whom he shares the real connection. Helen suggests they meet again tomorrow, but Lee has a booking at The Laurels. Helen admits that she only visited Christine quite so often as an excuse to see Lee. He teases her, and they kiss.
Tony drops off some chrome polish for Joy鈥檚 MG Midget. Joy excitedly tells him that Rochelle, her husband and the grandchildren are coming for Christmas. Tony ends up staying to chat. He鈥檚 surprised when she makes a tearful confession. Nobody is coming to hers for Christmas. She lied so he鈥檇 think her family loved her. Feeling sorry for Joy, and having forgotten his anniversary, Tony accepts an invitation for dinner.
When Tony returns to Bridge Farm Pat surprises him with his present 鈥� a handmade sheepskin flying jacket. Tony has to confess to forgetting about their anniversary, but lets her think he was held up at the garage. Pat forgives him. She鈥檚 just happy they can spend time together. Guilty Tony sits down to his second massive meal of the evening.
