6 December 1993

Raquel gets a job hostessing a party for a bathroom fittings company. Craig asks Steve to print him some cheap T-shirts for his band. Vera cleans out Joss Shackleton's flat. Steve shows Alison around the workshop. Raquel breaks down when the company send her her outfit for the night - an elf's costume. Tanya thinks it's hysterical. Percy is stunned when Emily tells him that she'll be spending Christmas Day feeding the homeless with Bernard. Deirdre is horrified at the thought of having Craig around at Christmas. Vera keeps Joss's old pot dog. Rita re-accepts Reg's offer on Highbank Avenue. He gives Maureen her engagement ring back. Tanya sees Steve kissing Alison. Raquel enjoys the party as it was full of children. Don urges Denise not to get rattled over the calls. She tells him that she thinks kids are making the calls. He offers to sleep on the sofa to give her some company and she's grateful.
