Episode 5796 (23rd December 2010)

==Plot==
It's the night of Chas' hen do, and as the festivities get under way and all the girls get their sexy santa costumes on, Chas tries to blot out her feelings. Although she's enjoying giving Eve the majority of dares, Chas is saddened to realise how much she and Carl share when she plays Mr and Mrs. When Carl smiles at her from across the bar, Chas is hit by the fact this is all a sham and slips away from the party. Carl notices she's gone, but when Eve approaches having had one too many and being very tactile, he has to tell her to back off. Cain sees them together, and thinking he's caught them at it, punches Carl. Meanwhile, unable to stomach her lies, David leaves Leyla to stay at the B&B. At the hospital, Justin tells Alicia that Jacob is clearly not happy where he is and should stay with him. Alicia and Leyla protest and Justin claims he will fight for custody. Elsewhere, Katie loses patience with Andy and Henshall; a mystery begins when Val opens a card for Eric from someone called Elizabeth; Hazel panics when the council informs her that they're sending someone over to the house; and things are awkward between Scarlett and Adam.
