Paul decides to face the future head-on. Gemma and Bernie are concerned when the factory girls reveal that Paul told them about the abuse. Paul arranges a surprise for Billy and Sean back at the flat, revealing a beautifully dressed Christmas tree and asserting that he’s wanting to move forward in life.
Meanwhile, Daniel does not need a little help from his friends and family. Daniel is thankful for his father’s support but insists he wants to be left alone with Bertie. Adam tries to convince him to go out for the evening but he’d rather watch Sinead’s videos.
Elsewhere, when Sebastian reveals he’s bought some tickets to ‘Bryan Maiden’ as a surprise, Emma is thrilled.
