25 December 1991

A gift-wrapped brick is thrown through the McDonald's window and Ivy tries to prove to Gail she's a changed person, but Gail isn't convinced. Mike tells Alma he'll make up the last year to her and explains how he used Tracy to get Ken out of the way. She is shocked and appalled at the way he's manipulated everyone to get her in bed. She tells him he makes her feel dirty and she doesn't want him anymore. She throws him out and he is stunned. Victoria keeps out of Bet and Des' way. Des tells Bet he fancies her and she's very desirable. She tries to fend him off as he makes a pass at her. He accuses her of teasing him and hits her, at which point she throws him out, with Vicky witnessing the whole incident. Des and Angie get drunk together and get physical. The Wiltons, feeling sorry for lonely Des, call on him and are very embarrassed. Curly ruins Christmas dinner by cooking the chicken with the giblets still inside.
