At Little Grange Emma\u2019s about to drive in to The Bull to work her Boxing Day shift. Despite Emma reassuring him Ed is upset that he couldn\u2019t afford bigger and better presents for everyone. Outside, a tree blows over in the wind, falling onto Emma\u2019s car and damaging it badly. Meanwhile at The Bull, Tracy tells Kenton how Jim ended up sharing his Christmas Day with the Horrobins, after Alistair disappeared to operate on the dog. Lilian joins them, taking refuge from Justin, who is still not forgiven. Emma phones to let Kenton know she\u2019ll be late in because of her car. Kenton\u2019s sympathetic but testy Lilian isn\u2019t, keen to crack the whip. Later, Lilian confides in Jolene how disappointed she was in Justin\u2019s response when she got back from James and Leonie\u2019s. Justin told her that his Christmas alone was pretty good. She admits hers was utterly miserable and she isn\u2019t speaking to Justin at all.

For Ed and Emma the damage to the car is potentially yet another financial blow. Ed then reveals his idea about becoming a tree surgeon. He thinks he\u2019ll be able to get a grant, but admits the costs would still come to seventeen grand on top. Emma says they\u2019ll talk later. Right now she\u2019s dreading the prospect of Lilian in a foul mood. \nAs predicted, Lilian is snippy with Emma, before she takes Tracy to task for not being smiley enough with the customers. Tracy and Emma commiserate with each other, before Tracy swears she\u2019ll get Lilian and Justin back together, for everyone\u2019s sake.
