Eddie's found a nice bunch of Christmas trees but is sheepish and vague when Will wants to know where they've come from. When Will suggests that Eddie's helped himself to someone else's trees, Eddie's hurt by his own son's suspicion. Clarrie asks Eddie if they really are legit. Eddie insists they are.

Susan shows Jennifer the "Tea Cosy" - the corner of the shop where people are putting things to sell for Teas. She suggests Jennifer puts something on the website about it. Susan then invites Jennifer and Brian to drinks and nibbles on Christmas Eve. Caught off-guard, Jennifer accepts. Later, at the WI evening, Susan extends the invitation to the rest of the family. Jennifer blusters that they're all busy people, and she hasn't actually mentioned it to Brian yet.

Nic gets back from the WI evening full of enthusiasm. She didn't expect the talk on food labelling to be so interesting. Will tells Nic about his concern that Eddie might have stolen the Christmas trees. Nic's sure it's all above board but Will's found some newly cut stumps at the plantation. He's 99% certain it was Eddie but he can't prove it. Eddie had better watch his step though.
