Plot[]
Part One: Liv comes round from her seizure but falls unconscious due to her head injury. Cain and Sam find Aaron in some nearby woodland. Wendy finds an unconscious Liv down by the stream. Aaron feels hurt about not receiving any word from Robert and questions what he has to live for if he no longer has him. Wendy calls an ambulance for Liv as she comes round in shock. She tries to call Aaron from Liv's phone to let him know what has happened. Cain makes Aaron realise that his life isn't over and promises the family will help him get through things. He receives a call from Chas telling him Liv has had another seizure. Charity, Vanessa, Sarah, Danny, Noah and Moses all have a meal together at the pub. Charity and Vanessa don't buy Danny's attempts to win them over but appreciate his effort in trying. Noah gives Sarah the option of confessing about the drugs but she swerves it. Tracy enquires to Nate whether Pete has made reference to their relationship getting serious while chatting at work, explaining about Pete's assumption they would be spending Christmas together. Nate encourages her to go easy on him, reminding him he will not be able to spend the day with his family. Liam and Leyla are awkward as Manpreet asks them to rehearse the kissing scene for the pantomime. Aaron, Cain and Sam join Victoria and Chas at the hospital and learn Liv has been moved to neurology. Victoria reveals to Aaron that Liv was down by the stream looking for him.
Part Two: Liv is admitted to hospital for the night and the Neurologist waits for her blood results to come back. Aaron feels guilty believing he triggered the seizure. Rishi takes on the role of the Evil Landowner but keeps making his entrance too early, preventing Liam and Leyla from kissing. Kim arrives and decides to take on the role of Evil Landowner to Manpreet's relief. Sarah tells Noah that she has told Danny she will no longer hide drugs for him. She manipulates him into keeping quiet by warning him he could risk ruining Christmas and cause Charity and Vanessa to break up again. Andrea catches Leyla ogling Liam. A guilty Charity tells Nate she will try and talk to Cain. Tracy tries to apologise to Pete and offers to let him spend Christmas with her and her family. Pete tells her they should just keep things casual and considers going over to Liverpool to spend the day with Rebecca and Ross. Charity tries to talk to Cain but gets nowhere. Leyla is disappointed when Liam takes a call from Bernice who tells him she will be home for Christmas. Liv comes round and Aaron apologises. Liv worries about what having a second seizure could mean. Cain tells Charity that he knows Nate is his son but he can't help but hate him for taking Moira away from him. Aaron explains to Liv that he did injure his hand accidentally and that the missing painkillers were because he took the last two. She begs him not to leave her and he promises he's not going anywhere.
