Natalie tells Liz and Betty that she will move to the Cotswolds until the baby is born. She is planning on leaving on New Year's Eve. Kevin is upset at the thought of Natalie leaving and she is touched by this sentiment. Peter tells Ken and Deirdre that he will visit Susan at New Year rather than Christmas, because of this Liz says she will not come round on Christmas Day.
