Peggy hears something wonderful, and PC Burns gets to grips with a ghost.
Peggy unveils the new Jack Woolley Remembrance window in the church. She remembers Jack's friends - Dan, Walter, Tom - and when she mentions her own son Tony her voice cracks. Pat comments on how vibrant the window looks even in the winter light. Peggy feels that the window is the only good thing that has come out of winding up Jack's estate. She becomes philosophical about focusing more on the present than planning for the future.
Peggy visits Tony in hospital. She is stunned when he manages to speak, and brought to tears when Tony tells her he loves her.
It's the opening night of Blithe Spirit. As nervous Susan struggles into her costume, Helen teases Fallon about her flowers from Harrison. Lynda's beads keep catching and one minute before curtain up, Susan's zip bursts. Susan unwittingly turns this into a comedy routine onstage - with Lynda watching in horror at her 'hammy' performance.
After the show, Harrison congratulates proud Susan, who gleefully paraphrases Lynda's own words: "There ain't no small parts, only small actors". Meanwhile, Harrison also congratulates Fallon. They share a moment - and a kiss - under the mistletoe.
Pat happily reports to Helen that Tony is speaking. They embrace at this brilliant news and wish each other a happy Christmas.
