Plot[]
Audrey offers to buy a turkey for Christmas dinner at No.8. Gail doesn't want to cook Christmas dinner as no one will help. With Max wanting David to come to his nativity, Kylie threatens not to go. Carla is surprised Peter hasn't told Tracy about Rob and Tina's kiss. Roy is anxious about his driving test and Mary's stories about her disastrous attempts don't help. Audrey fears neither David nor Kylie will go to the nativity and Max will be upset. Carla gets out of going by collecting Deirdre from the airport as she returns from Canada. Kylie gets drunk in the Rovers. Tina throws her out. At Bessie Street School, Nick refuses to speak to David. Taking Carla's place, Tina arrives and warns David that Kylie is in a bad state. Dennis and the band arrive at the bistro to set up. Dennis is confident the show will be a success. Roy takes his driving test. Peter asks Tina what's going on between her and Rob. She says it's nothing to do with him. Kylie staggers in late and talks throughout the performance. David is embarrassed, while Gail urges him to get rid of her. Pat Phelan calls Owen and invites him and Gary for drinks to discuss business. Rita keeps a close eye on Dennis and Gloria as they seem to be hitting it off. A teacher tells Kylie to leave. She staggers up to the stage and tells Max that he's going with her.

Notes[]
- Only one episode was shown on Friday 20th December to accommodate Text Santa 2013 which was transmitted immediately after this episode. An additional episode was shown on Sunday 22nd December instead.
- A continuity error in this episode contradicts the previous episode where Tracy Barlow stated that Deirdre was looking after Amy, thus indicating that Deirdre was back from her trip visiting Ken in Canada. However in this episode, Carla goes to pick Deirdre up from the airport (off-screen).
- TV Times synopsis: Kylie gets drunk before going to Max's nativity play, where she is asked to leave because of her behaviour; Roy nervously waits to take his driving test; Peter tells Tina he knows about her kiss with Rob; and Owen is intrigued to receive an invitation to a drinks party from Pat Phelan.
- Viewing Figures: First UK broadcast: 8,350,000 viewers (5th place).
