Jim didn't do research so that Joe could dress up like a druidic high priest to dupe local residents into buying mistletoe. He tells Joe to stop. It will ruin Jim's academic reputation. Joe meant no harm and apologises. Shula spends some time with Elizabeth. They talk about the quarter peal that Neil's arranged in honour of Nigel next Sunday, and the twins' interview at the Cathedral School next week. Both intend to talk about something to do with Nigel. Shula later breaks down in Jill's arms. It's difficult hiding her own grief in front of Elizabeth. Jill acknowledges that Nigel was a big part of Shula's life, and assures her it's only natural to feel his loss so deeply. They're interrupted by Jim, wanting to talk to Daniel about his A level options. In a moment of impulse, Shula invites Jim to stay for supper. He's delighted to accept. Pat tentatively broaches the subject of Kathy's visits. When Helen brings Henry home it's likely to be a bit hectic so she wonders if they could agree one night each week for Kathy to come over. Kathy's hurt but tells Pat she understands.
