Lilian gets the inside story.
Lynda and Elizabeth find time to tidy the flowerbeds around the war memorial. Lynda won't have much free time once Coriander and Oscar arrive. They're staying a few weeks whilst Justin's in America. She's disappointed that they're choosing to go to Justin's parents for Christmas.
Elizabeth's busy in the run up to Christmas too. There's the Antiques Fair to arrange, followed by the 'Deck the Hall' event involving themed trails in and around Lower Loxley. Meanwhile, Robert's feeling creative. He's made a baby mobile for Oscar out of Christmas decorations and a couple of coat-hangers.
Matt rings Lilian from prison. She's desperate to visit him but he seems reluctant. He tells her to wait until he's been transferred. Lilian's left feeling upset - why won't he let her visit him? Jolene thinks he's just trying to protect her but Lilian's worried that he blames her for forcing him to come home to face the music. Jolene tells her she needs to keep positive for Matt. Lilian knows Jolene's right, she's got to snap out of it.
