Alice takes a gamble and David faces a difficult memory

Alice and Harry are on a date at the Country Park Illuminations. Alice is feeling nervous and Harry鈥檚 worried that it is the company that is putting her off. Alice reassures him that it isn鈥檛 him, but she has something to tell him. Alice goes on to say that Harry might not like her after she tells him, but she鈥檒l have to do it. She explains that she is a recovering alcoholic, and that she was drinking through her pregnancy and after Martha was born while she was looking after her. Alice says she likes Harry and she thinks he likes her, but she needs him to know everything. Harry tells her he thinks she鈥檚 amazing and it doesn鈥檛 make a difference to how he feels about her.

Freddie and David are talking about Christmas and Freddie tells him about how the abattoir completely shuts down over the holiday season as Vince wants everyone to have a proper break.
They go on to talk about Christmas Day, and David is put out when Freddie tells him they鈥檒l be spending it with Lily and Paul鈥檚 parents at The Stables. Freddie goes on to tease David about ordering takeaway for his and Ruth鈥檚 anniversary rather than going out for a meal. David counters with the fact that they鈥檝e been married thirty-five years, eleven years older than Freddie鈥檚 actual age, and they鈥檙e tired and probably won鈥檛 make it to the end of the film. Joy catches up with them, further putting the boot in by telling David that she鈥檒l also be spending Christmas at The Stables.
