• Tom is making breakfast for Kirsty. He’s got a busy day tomorrow so Kirsty wonders if she should stay in Borchester. Tom says he likes having her around so she suggests moving in. Tom is thrilled. They have an evening at Jaxx though Kirsty is working. Helen couldn’t be persuaded to join them; she is still raw about Rob.
• Jess finally visits Ambridge and agrees it’s pretty but wants to take things slowly. Her Mum is still very low. They have a chat with Kenton and he happens to mention The Bull’s special cocktail – the Corpse Reviver! Jess is not impressed. Rob explains that Jess is an agency social worker.
• Kathy is still job hunting. She isn’t sure if she would take the hotel job if she is offered it. But she is thrilled that the BL board have decided on Grey Gables instead of the golf club for their Christmas lunch. And she enjoys gloating that Mel will be there when Jolene walks up the aisle.
• Jess and Rob settle down for an evening at his cottage. She’s exhausted from dealing with her mother who is already going through his things. Her mother has offered Rob his camera and he is pleased but that causes Jess to remember things.
• Kenton and Kirsty reminisce about the old days and how rough things were when he was breaking up with Kathy. But at least he has something to celebrate. And so has Kirsty, not only is she to be Maid Marian but she is moving in with Tom.
