Later, Brian and Jennifer attend the opening night of the Sleeping Beauty pantomime.
Jennifer speaks to Nic, and finds out the truth about the Boxing Day shoot. Will was in an impossible position, and Jennifer chastises Brian for not establishing the facts. Brian promises to put things right without revealing Nic as the source of the information.
