Simon's day goes from bad to worse. First Cherry tells him she's moving out, to move in with Jimmi. Then Rob turns up with the news of Scarlett's drowning. He takes it remarkably well though. Julia stumbles across her mechanic while shopping. He's acting as Santa, but has to leave to go to the bank, his garage having folded. Julia is left to look after the grotto, only ends up pretending to be Santa. Then Lisa turns up with Izzie! Connie turns up at the Mill, in tears.
