Leo confides in Paul about Delaney’s blackmail. Leo doesn’t want to tell Terese about it, especially not at Christmas. Instead, they plan to butter Delaney up with hotel freebies, then Leo will be in a better position to reason with her and get her to leave town quietly.

When Terese later rattles Delaney’s confidence, Delaney confronts Paul about their attempt to butter her up and drops a bombshell.

Meanwhile, the community knuckles down to organise the last-minute Christmas concert. Bea, Elly and Susan are not thrilled when Liz unexpectedly arrives. Elly anticipates some grief over Liz not being invited to her engagement party, but Liz claims she’s reinvented herself after a recent stay at a retreat and tells Susan she’s here to keep the family going in the wake of Susan’s actions against Finn.

When Liz later clocks Elly and Chloe in an intriguing conversation, she does some snooping. Liz finds the letter Chloe wrote for Elly and proceeds to read it. Chloe is stunned when Liz turns up at her door, giving her a serve about the damage and hurt she’ll cause if she pursues Elly. She claims the best thing Chloe can do is tear up the letter, forget her feelings, and stay away from Elly. Liz’s words leave Chloe gutted.
