Rex and Kirsty put the final touches to their festive trail on the rewilding site and reflect on the distress they saw Ben in on Friday. Rex is pleased to hear Ben appears to be doing well now. They also compare their experiences on the rival choirs. Eddie’s keen to look round the rewilding’s festive offer as he thinks they could replicate it on Grundy’s Field. He twists Ed’s arm into coming along too. Ed’s not got much work at the moment and Eddie’s worried about the turkey sales. Eddie quizzes Rex about the set-up of the Christmas trail, before Kirsty reports some fallen branches are causing havoc. Eddie suggests Ed could tidy the trees and pile up the fallen wood. Afterwards, Eddie points out that the fallen wood might be better used for heating – people would pay good money. Ed reminds him that logging’s illegal, and anyway Emma wouldn’t approve. Joy invites Mick over for a proper chat after not seeing much of him when she hosted him and Kirsty practising for Jolene’s choir. Mick arrives with a big bunch of flowers and the two talk about their feelings. Mick apologises for saying ‘I love you’ so quickly. Joy admits she find it difficult to believe that anyone could love her. Sometimes she feels she’s a boring old frump. Mick puts her straight. What he loves about her is that she gets out there and gets stuck in. Joy warns him that romance hasn’t gone well for her in the past. Mick’s happy to go at her pace.
