Denise is grateful for all the support that Don is giving her. Elaine Fenwick has no memory of the Bettabuy party. Curly is bemused when she slaps his face for telling her that they nearly went to bed. Denise confronts Hanif and accuses him of making the calls. She is stunned when he tells her that he's forgotten her and got married three weeks ago. Reg accuses Curly of seducing Maureen. Curly swears it was a one-off but Reg warns him that he intends to make life a misery for him. Percy refuses to spend Christmas with the Wiltons so Mavis invites Rita; Rita tries to get out of it. Vicky arrives to spend Christmas at the Rovers. She is hurt when Steve is cool towards her. Denise doesn't want the police involved with the calls so Hanif offers to use one of his contacts.

Notes[]
- TV Times synopsis: The situation at No 1 is fast becoming unbearable for Deirdre. And why is Reg on the warpath?
- Viewing Figures: UK broadcast - 17,840,000 viewers (2nd place - combined figure including repeat).
- The Granada Plus repeat of this episode on 24th September 2004 was edited for timing reasons, omitting an entire Rovers' scene lasting 42" in Part Two, in which Mavis and Derek Wilton discuss Percy Sugden rejecting their hospitality over Christmas. The ITV3 repeat on 28th October 2019 reinstated the scene, although 5" was cut from the middle of a Kabin scene in Part One, to remove Mavis and Deirdre Barlow's references to suicide.
