Nick and Sarah see a spectre of Christmas future.  Maria is angry with Gary for keeping her in the dark but Gary lies that Derek ran into financial trouble so he swooped in to save the factory and the workers’ jobs.  Maria, blindly, believes him.  Gary locks a tied up Derek in the furniture shop overnight, determined to make sure he misses his flight to Florida with his kids.  When Nick and Sarah continue to disrespect him, Gary vindictively increases their rent.

Fiz gives Jade a Christmas miracle.  Fiz and Tyrone find Jade on Victoria Street and drag her back to number 9 Coronation Street.  Hope is overjoyed to see Jade.  Fiz and Tyrone invite Jade to stay for Christmas and Jade is secretly smug.  Jade hugs Hope, promising to look after her.  Evelyn eyes her up with suspicion.
