Summary[]

Kathy returns to the Square, so do the hens and stags. Meanwhile, Barry tries to change Natalie's mind.

Kathy is back again. Her first observation is of Melanie kissing Steve in the Square. Ben wanders off. Kathy finally notices and starts looking for him, and Steve brings him back. Steve mentions the stag do, and says it was eventful, as Natalie changed her mind about getting married. Kathy is extremely frosty to Melanie when she meets her, and when Melanie tells Ian about Natalie, Kathy mentions she heard it from one of the stags. Ian asks who, and Kathy describes a handsome man with piercing blue eyes and Ian shouts at Melanie that she didn't tell him Steve was there. Melanie points out that she wasn't responsible for inviting the men to Barry's stag do!

Natalie leaves Barry when she sees the full horror of the cardboard Adam and Eve backdrop, and Barry writes a cheque out to Andrea and tells her to leave and take her money, as it has done nothing but poison their relationship, just as Natalie predicted.

Sam arranges with Steve to work in the club the following evening, and asks for her money in advance. She sees Beppe's keys on the bar and steals them. She buys Joe and Beppe some presents. Beppe is horrified as well as being very annoyed because he couldn't get in his house for a few hours. Sam apologises, and says it won't happen again, because she got her own set of keys cut. Joe gets a Christmas card from his mother, Sandra, and Beppe and Rosa are worried about the implications of her contacting Joe after all this time. In the Vic, Sam happens to mention in passing how upset Frank was with her and Ricky eloping, and Janine's eyes light up with malice. Peggy has booked seven weeks in the Algarve, and suggests to Frank that Janine would be better off in Manchester.

Lisa tells Mark it looks like she won't be spending Christmas with Phil, so he invites her to Pauline's with him. She thanks him and they face each other and look as if they are about to kiss, when Phil appears from behind them and wants to talk to Lisa about her drunken phone call from Amsterdam, and she immediately ignores Mark and goes off with Phil.
