Emma joins Ed in cutting up the tree that fell on her car. They\u2019d love it if she could work alongside him and make the tree surgery a real family business, but extra costs involved would make it an even riskier enterprise. However, Ed reckons they should look into taking out a business loan because he\u2019s got a good feeling about this.

At The Bull Brian tells Justin how pleasant his Christmas was, despite it being the first without Jennifer. By way of contrast Justin\u2019s Christmas was horrendous. He\u2019s tried everything he can to win Lilian back, but nothing is working. Justin confesses that Lilian is the love of his life. Tracy chips in that Justin needs to tell Lilian that, not Brian. He should open his heart and tell her how he feels. Up at the bar Lilian suggests having a fashion show to pull in the punters. And when Tracy mentions two men arguing over who\u2019s been drinking in The Bull for longer Lilian suggests a competition to see which customer has been drinking there the longest of all. When Tracy tells Lilian that Justin said she was the love of his life, she finally goes to talk to him. Justin confesses he lied about having a good Christmas \u2013 it was miserable. He\u2019s at his wit\u2019s end, trying to think of ways to win Lilian back. She asks Justin to promise he\u2019ll never betray her again. They both declare that the other one is the love of their life, before they kiss, back together at last.
