Time to learn about the History of the Turkey, but Ed and Emma have some news.
Jill admits to Carol that she's tired, and she's having second thoughts about going out. Carol insists she needs fresh air and a good laugh, so picks her up and takes her for a drive. They make plans for Jill to help decorate Carol's tree on Friday - an opportunity to reminisce about Christmases past. Carol also invites Jill to a little drinks party on Friday week.
Ed's pleased to learn that Susan took the news of their engagement well. Emma tells him she was over the moon and is already making plans for the wedding. Ed wants to tell his family before they find out via Susan.
As Eddie, Clarrie and Joe make final preparations for the History of the Turkey pageant, Ed and Emma turn up and announce that they're getting married. Everyone's delighted. The show goes ahead, and everyone seems to enjoy the occasion. Joe and Eddie put on a great performance, and it all helps to promote turkey sales. It ends with Carol's moving reading from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
