Emma joins Ed in cutting up the tree that fell on her car. They’d love it if she could work alongside him and make the tree surgery a real family business, but extra costs involved would make it an even riskier enterprise. However, Ed reckons they should look into taking out a business loan because he’s got a good feeling about this.

At The Bull Brian tells Justin how pleasant his Christmas was, despite it being the first without Jennifer. By way of contrast Justin’s Christmas was horrendous. He’s tried everything he can to win Lilian back, but nothing is working. Justin confesses that Lilian is the love of his life. Tracy chips in that Justin needs to tell Lilian that, not Brian. He should open his heart and tell her how he feels. Up at the bar Lilian suggests having a fashion show to pull in the punters. And when Tracy mentions two men arguing over who’s been drinking in The Bull for longer Lilian suggests a competition to see which customer has been drinking there the longest of all. When Tracy tells Lilian that Justin said she was the love of his life, she finally goes to talk to him. Justin confesses he lied about having a good Christmas – it was miserable. He’s at his wit’s end, trying to think of ways to win Lilian back. She asks Justin to promise he’ll never betray her again. They both declare that the other one is the love of their life, before they kiss, back together at last.
