Plot[]

Part One: Victoria reluctantly agrees to let Wendy help her. Noah and Danny scuffle and Danny drops Noah to the floor. Sarah arrives in time for Noah to reveal that Sarah is sick and that the drugs could kill her. Graham asks Rhona to consider helping him obtain Millie's DNA as Jamie trusts her enough to let her near Millie. Wendy tells Victoria that she's suffering Braxton Hicks contractions and the baby isn't on it's way just yet. Luke is annoyed knowing that Wendy dragged things out longer than necessary so she could hear her grandchild's heartbeat for the first time. Lydia becomes weary of an emotional Agatha apologising to her. Harriet tells Kim the Christmas lights are ready for the big switch-on. Wendy apologises to Victoria when she grabs her stomach as the baby starts to kick. Victoria tells her it's okay. The villagers gather for the Christmas lights switch-on. Rhona refuses to help Graham, not wanting to betray Jamie's trust. Vanessa admits to Charity that she is trying to block out her grief for Frank. Kim proudly announces the Christmas lights switch-on on behalf of her new venture - Hawksford Outdoor Pursuits - and gets Millie to turn the lights on. She is annoyed to see that the lights are the same as last year. Harriet admits she gave Kim's donation to a homeless charity in Hotten, rather than spend it on new lights that are not needed. Wendy returns to Dale View and is aghast to see 'Rapist' sprayed above her door.

Part Two: Wendy tries to get Victoria to say that she is telling lies but she refuses. Kim realises that her new tenant is Lee's mother but admits to Victoria that Wendy is now tied-in to a sixth month tenancy. Lydia reveals to Sam that she feels Agatha is pushing too hard for them to bond and doesn't want her attending her goodbye to her son tomorrow. Noah insists he was trying to protect an upset Sarah but Danny isn't put off and still insists on having some fun with her. Sarah warns Noah to back off when he threatens to reveal all to Charity but he declares he is no longer covering for her. Laurel reconsiders Jai's idea to spend Christmas together but invites him and Archie to Mulberry Cottage instead. Graham tells Rhona he will find another way of obtaining Millie's DNA. Lydia reveals to Agatha that she is overwhelming her and asks her to stay away tomorrow. Kim offers Wendy her money back and two weeks to find a new place but Wendy insists she is not going anywhere. She tells Kim that Victoria had a one-night stand with Lee, regretted it and is now crying rape and she intends to stick around and make sure her grandchild gets everything it needs. Victoria reveals to Aaron that Wendy had to help with her false labour and she thought there was a point when she might begin to realise that she is telling the truth. Upon seeing her reaction to the graffiti, she now believes that she was wrong to think Wendy would come round and asks Aaron to do whatever it takes to get rid of her.
