Chris finds himself on edge and Eddie makes a new discovery

While taking part in Kirsty鈥檚 litter pick, Eddie promises to gift her a Grundy turkey before she moves to Wales. There鈥檚 a Wildlife Trust goodie bag for whoever collects the most rubbish and when Eddie learns it will be judged by weight he seeks out discarded glass bottles. Kirsty鈥檚 heard about his run-in with the rogue detectorists at Brookfield and Eddie admits the whole experience has put him off going out with the metal detector.
While Eddie and Kirsty chat, Poppy makes use of the metal detector and discovers a catalytic converter which renews Eddie鈥檚 enthusiasm for metal detecting. Though he insists it鈥檚 because of Poppy鈥檚 interest. Meanwhile, Eddie obfuscates over why he鈥檚 not in the Christmas Show this year. He thinks it鈥檚 good that Kirsty鈥檚 got the lead role of host before she leaves the village.
Chris collects Alice from her residential detox. He鈥檚 keen to know what the process involved but Alice bats his questions away. Once back home, Alice catches up with Helen via a video call and spins her a yarn about being on holiday in Bath. She鈥檚 re-energised, raring to go and returning to work tomorrow. Helen tells them about Kirsty and Philip鈥檚 impending move and her plans to buy their house. Later, unnerved by how easily Alice can lie about her time away, Chris presses her on whether she really will stop drinking. Alice insists she is fine and has the midwife and doctor to talk to if she needs to.
