Episode 3929 (23rd December 2004)

==Plot==
Val and Diane enjoy some quality time together at their posh Leeds hotel and Val makes a moving apology to her sister for all the upset she has previously caused. As the sisters enjoy a drink in the hotel bar, they are shocked to bump into Eric who is supposed to be in America. They jokingly suggest he has a fancy woman but he denies it and hurries off. Lesley arrives and Rodney quickly begins to regret inviting her to stay when she tries to force herself upon him under the mistletoe. His doubts about spending Christmas with her are increased further when she pulls out her festive Cliff Richard CD. Jilted Sadie bites back at Robert by sacking an unsuspecting Katie. Robert is horrified when his devastated girlfriend breaks the news and, in an attempt to ease his guilty conscience, Robert suggests that they go away for Christmas. Meanwhile, Sadie uses money to lure Cain into helping her frame Charity. She asks Cain to take Charity to a hotel in order to be seen looking cosy together. Cain takes the cash.
