Part One: It's Christmas. Carla looks in on Roy and gives him a present although he hasn't got her anything. Steve promises Amy snow. Michael buys Gail a set of saucepans, hiding her real presents inside them. Michael finds the missing dollhouse piece. Alya gets Sharif chickens for Christmas. The Armstrongs band together to get Faye a set of headphones as a main present. She convinces them to invite Gary over for dinner. David returns the missing piece to Tyrone and helps him finish the dollhouse to make amends. Jason is put out when the perfume he has bought Eva is the wrong one. Kevin and Tim have fun with Jack's Scalextric. Callum visits the street to give Max a bicycle.
Part Two: Jason's anguish continues when Tony gets Eva her favourite perfume with Secret Santa. Callum lets himself into No.8 while the family are celebrating David's birthday at the bistro. Kylie is there as she is preparing dinner. She panics at the thought of David walking in and tells Callum to go but he makes himself comfortable. He calls Kylie a trapped animal and offers to set her free. Gavin is uncomfortable when Michael gives him a family tankard with the names of generations of Rodwell men engraved on it, including his. David decides to go home and tell Kylie how much she means to him. Tracy has fun with Tony and kisses him under the mistletoe. He tells her to leave him alone. David walks in just as Callum is about to leave.
Part Three: David thinks Callum is Kylie's dealer and tells him to go. Callum says he's part of the family as he's Max's dad. Jason thinks he's let Eva down although she insists she prefers his gift. David starts brawling with Callum just as Michael, Gail and Audrey arrive. David tells them who Callum is. Callum leaves when Michael threatens to call the police. David insists on having Christmas dinner before having it out with Kylie for the kids' sake. Gary joins the Armstrongs but Owen can't help making digs. Gary gets angry and accidentally breaks Faye's headphones in a rage. Michelle is confused when Steve invites her up to his bedroom. It turns out he wants her to help him make fake snow for Amy's benefit. The soup kitchen is a great success. Sally gets revenge on Maddie for last year by covering her face in mash. Amy is thrilled to see snow fall past the window. Michelle misreads the signals and tries to kiss Steve. He's horrified and denies sending out any signals.
Part Four: Alone with Kylie, David tells his wife that she isn't fit to be a mother to their children as she brought drugs and a dealer into the house. He tells her to pack her bags and say goodbye. Kylie is devastated and doesn't put up a fight. Kevin and Tim are two hours late for Christmas dinner as they're playing with the Scalextric. Sally pretends the turkey is all gone to get back at them. Jason and Eva make up. Kylie tells Max she has to go look after a friend. David turns his back to Kylie as she leaves.
