Roy is already showing signs of not supporting Hayley by not being able to be with her when Kate comes home.

Radio Times: Roy learns from his mistakes.

Characters: Brian, Hayley, Jill, Lilian, Lynda, Roy

• Brian isn’t impressed that Lynda is late for her rehearsal but Lilian is still trying to convince Neil to move her mirror further backwards so she can at least escape. Lynda isn’t convinced the box is where she thought it should be but Lilian convinces her it is. Then Lilian and Jill try to get into the method acting about the view of the mirror in the play. Brian is even less convinced.
• Hayley seems to have sorted out Christmas – Mike and Brenda are welcome to go to her family. But Roy now has to shift his schedule around so he won’t be able to go to Home Farm to meet Kate and Nollie on Wednesday. Hayley is obviously annoyed that he is letting her down. She tries to stress to Roy that it must be the two of them together but he doesn’t really hear.
• During a cigarette break, Lilian tries to blackmail Neil – he helped her move the box after all. So they are partners in crime now, after all…. But it begins to fail when Lilian doesn’t get back from her break and Jill struggles to cover for her.
