Olivia has been persuaded to rejoin the show, but has one condition for Romeo. Tony prepares for the Christmas lights switch-on. Verity tells Eric that she thinks that the people he is with are the problem. She takes his phone when he leaves. Goldie shows the family the photo Bobby drew of her dead and their lack of reaction leaves her annoyed.
Verity reads through messages and makes a post before finding a photo sent by Eric that horrifies her. Liberty tries to reconcile with Sienna. She says how she wants to take Faith to see the world and gives Sienna a photo album. Sienna reluctantly gives Liberty her blessing. Romeo is furious that Olivia wants to play Joseph. Shaq asks Verity to meet him in the park at 6. Goldie bickers with Bobby, revealing the evidence to Bobby. Mercedes bumps into Felix. She is interrupted when Bobby calls her about Goldie's accusation. Nadira has set up the park for Shaq's proposal for Verity. Tom has forgotten about the Christmas erobics, so he'll have to move.
Mason tells Eric about Verity's post. Mercedes confronts Goldie. She threatens to kick Goldie out of the family if she doesn't return the book. Eric sneaks into the flat to get his phone, realising that she has seen his posts about Maxine. Romeo is forced to cast Olivia when Theresa asks about the nativity. Eric posts a message to the chat, promising to make Verity keep quiet. Shaq has decided to use the gym to propose to Verity as they first met when the building was Salon de Thé de Marnie. Shaq has second thoughts after realising that he would be having his third wedding. Maxine waits at Dee Valley Law for Verity. Goldie looks at photos of herself and Sylver when she hears the door close, arming herself with a candlestick.
The nativity begins. The attendees are amused by Romeo as Mary, but Romeo is unimpressed when Olivia jumps in as Matthew-Jesus misses his line. Goldie discovers that the sound was Felix delivering Mercedes his favourite rom-com. Romeo is annoyed when Olivia goes on a tangent about Christmas, which confuses the audience. Someone sneaks into the office and hits Verity with a book before pushing a shelf onto her. Shaq waits for Verity, oblivious as to what has happened. Bobby sings 'Silent Night' at the nativity. Verity lays unconscious under the shelf, trapped.Cast
