==Plot==
Moira worries about Noah as he's said he wants to quit college and join the army. Cain believes Noah is winding Moira up. When Moira steers the conversation to last night, Cain rushes off to the garage to avoid the subject. Mandy is missing Vinny and all their Christmas traditions such as ice skating. A nervous Laurel and Jai head to the hospital for the CVS test. Dawn stresses about Christmas as she wants it to be perfect for Lucas. Harriet assures her it will but Dawn asks how as she won't be there. Charity bumps into Sarah in Church Lane and tries to talk to her granddaughter but Sarah isn't interested in talking and questions why Charity is acting like she cares. Afterward, Charity returns home where she finds a letter addressed to her in Vanessa's handwriting. Paul calls by the Mill to urge Vinny not to let his issues with him ruin his relationship with Mandy. When Paul brings up Mandy and Vinny's tradition of going ice skating, Liv encourages Vinny to go. Vinny agrees until he learns Paul will be tagging along too. Moira calls in past Jacobs Fold to talk to Charity about Noah wanting to join the army but Charity dismisses her concerns believing Noah is only saying it to get a reaction. Moira doesn't think so. She believes Noah is desperate for someone to take him seriously and listen to him and can't believe Charity is being so cavalier about this. Moira begins ripping into Charity about her parenting, just as Cain walks in. Mandy's upset that Vinny is cutting her out and concludes there's something he's not telling her so she demand to know what it is. Moira reminds Charity she has responsibilities and she can't palm her kids off just because Vanessa left her nor can she keep wallowing in self-pity. Cain steps in and orders Moira to stop having a go at Charity then asks his wife to leave. Vinny tells a worked-up Mandy that all their traditions are from when they were alone but they're not alone anymore and now he wants to make new traditions with Liv. Once Moira has left, Charity tells Cain that Vanessa has returned her engagement ring. Cain suggests she could pawn the ring but Charity doesn't want the cash, she wants Vanessa. Jamie has given Dawn the afternoon off as she has really bad stomach cramps. Mackenzie learns Cain and Charity used to be an item and uses the knowledge to taunt Moira about them alone being together but Moira insists she trusts Cain. Paul returns to Wishing Well Cottage to find Mandy crying about Vinny. Mandy is adamant something isn't right and wishes Vinny would talk to her. After downing vodka with Cain, Charity resolves to move on as Vanessa isn't coming back. As Moira watches the pair heading into the pub, Mackenzie questions if she's really sure there's nothing going on between them.
