Nigel's working hard in the office. Elizabeth's sorry she sulked about the panto. It was brilliant. Nigel mentions he has to pop out later. When Lizzie makes a joke about an assignation he assures her he's a one-woman man. When he finally presents her with the brooch she's delighted. They share a tender moment. Over lunch with Brenda, Fallon admits she really likes Harry. But when she invited him over to run through their lines he just wanted to stay downstairs in the bar. So it seems she got it all wrong and he just wants to be mates. She's going to forget all about it now. Anything else is just too embarrassing. Tom's still hoping Helen will make it to Bridge Farm, but Brenda's certain Helen won't budge. Brenda is touched that Tom's so worried about his family. Tom suggests to Tony that he and Pat meet up with Helen in The Bull, but Tony's having none of it. When Tom discovers Tony out in the cold, desperately trying to mend the tractor, he decides to have one more try. Why doesn't he come to the pub, just for half an hour? Tony's sad, but adamant. If he went it would only ruin it for all of them.
