Does Rob have Christmas all wrapped up? The Fairbrothers are off to market.
Toby gets his dressed geese off to Ian, getting into Victorian market trader mode. Eddie and Toby go to market together, but Joe doesn't trust the Fairbrothers. However, Toby's a hit with the crowd and they do well. The only problem is they forgot to keep back a turkey for the Grundys - so Toby offers them a goose instead. Joe's mortified.
Helen finally gets to talk to Ian, but it doesn't go to plan. Hurt and angry, Ian says he trusted Helen and she let him down by not telling him about Adam and Charlie.
Rob persuades Helen to not go over to Pat and Tony's for Christmas Day - the three of them can stay at home together instead.
