The Black Widow decides she is taking Mr Newbold Christmas shopping, Madge and Mavis discuss whether to invite Gastric for Christmas dinner, and Leroy tries to enlist Ruby's help to stop Beth seeing Gerald. Back in the Community Hall, everyone gets in the festive spirit by arranging a surprise anniversary party for Annie and George Thompson.
