Plot[]
Kevin spends Christmas Day at No.13 with Sally and the girls. Betty cooks Christmas dinner for all the Rovers' staff. The Battersbys eat the turkey but Toyah refuses to, saying she's a vegetarian. Leanne and Janice feel they can't eat any of the bird as it's all squashed from the car hitting it. Jon splits his time between Linda and Deirdre, telling them both that he has to work. Rita has dinner with the Websters and the normal family atmosphere makes Sally realise that she wants Kevin back. Natalie feels sorry that she cut all ties with her family as they disapproved of her living with Kevin. Deirdre is furious when Jon has to return to work after only being with her for an hour. She tells him that she's sick of his job. Sally tells Kevin she realises why he was upset about her and Chris and apologises to him. Alec feels sorry for Natalie and assures her that she will get over Kevin. Sally asks Kevin to come back and he agrees, saying it's what he wants more than anything.
