One resident faces a blast from the past, and will Mick’s debut go according to plan?

Kirsty’s shocked when Gavin shows up at her Beechwood house. He’s been released from prison and saw that Kirsty’s house was for sale. Presuming she was moving away, Gavin wanted to catch Kirsty before she left. He confesses he didn’t know how he agreed to using a slave workforce with his dad. He knew it was wrong, but Philip convinced him that they were doing the slaves a favour. When Kirsty asserts Gavin could’ve stopped it sooner, Gavin says he did eventually, even though it meant going to jail. Kirsty suddenly realises she can’t cope with the conversation and asks him to leave.

Joy waits with nervous Mick wait as he’s about to go on as Santa in The Bull’s ‘Creepy Christmas’ event. He didn’t get much sleep last night in his van in The Bull car park. Afterwards Alan tells Lynda if she can put Mick’s performance together at such notice, it’s still possible to put on a village panto. But Lynda thinks that’s a tall order. Joy says there’s a panto in Felpersham this year, perhaps they could put on a trip to that instead. Mick appears, exhausted by his performance and ready to head back to his van for some sleep. Joy suggests he stays at hers instead for a trial run over Christmas. Mick agrees, as long as it isn’t because she feels sorry for him.

Later Alan finds Gavin in the bus shelter waiting to hitch a lift. Lynda’s shocked when she passes by and sees him. She hurries off and Alan offers Gavin a lift back to his hostel.
