Jolene and Fallon are united on both the Tearoom and The Bull running Winter Warmer schemes – that way they can help more people who are struggling to afford heating. However, when mother and daughter talk about their respective choir plans, things don’t go so smoothly. Jolene takes against Fallon’s desire to attract younger people to her choir, it sounds ageist to her and she won’t stand aside or collaborate. It looks like Ambridge will get two choirs this Christmas. Alistair’s noticed Paul’s not his usual self. Paul admits that while he likes Ruairi he’s had to accept that nothing’s going to happen between them. Instead, Paul’s going to focus his efforts on getting to know more people in Ambridge. Paul suggests a work Christmas party. Alistair isn’t keen, but then becomes more enthusiastic when Paul mentions he’s confident his mum, Denise, would come along. David and Ruth discuss a serious cash offer for the land they are selling. They’ll have to turn down Home Farm’s offer, but they are both relieved that they’re getting closer to never having to deal with Vince again. The pair talk over Ruth’s row with Jill and Jill’s consequential departure from Brookfield. Recognising they have been distant from one another recently, they reconnect and share their feelings on the whole saga. They notice how quiet the farmhouse is now it’s just the two of them living there. They agree to go back to working as a team and David is hopeful they can all move on.
