==Plot==
Tom is pronounced dead by paramedics. Meanwhile, Jimmy holds Bob in the Home Farm kitchen until the police turn up. When they arrive, Jimmy tells CID about seeing Bob climbing down a drain pipe after Tom's murder. Bob claims he was at the wedding to pass a message to Donna. Jamie arrives at The Woolpack Christmas dinner late. Viv demands to know where's he's been. Lying he tells her he was with Bob at Dawn's grave. When they ask where Bob is, Jamie's alarmed that they've not seen him. Hearing sirens passing The Woolpack everybody becomes concerned. Elsewhere, Louise and Hari are puzzled by Terry's strange behaviour when he claims he's been out walking and he's glad to hear that Tom is dead. Terry packs a bag and leaves the village. At the same time, Pearl and Jasmine are also surprised when Len expresses how pleased he is that Tom is dead.
