Neil and George meet Fallon to talk through the vision for the choir. Fallon wants to do contemporary Christmas songs. George’s role is to encourage younger people to join the choir though he won’t be singing himself. He quickly changes his mind when Fallon offers to teach him. Fallon chooses her words carefully after hearing George sing. George’s choice of song did make it quite difficult for Fallon to assess his vocal ability. They try some vocal exercises. Later, Neil returns to collect George and Fallon happily reports on the progress they’ve made. Neil’s impressed and thinks if Fallon can inspire George then the choir could have a really positive impact on the whole community. Kenton can’t believe Jolene is dropping everything to drive Jill to get more baking ingredients. With Jolene away, Kenton moans to Alistair about living with his mother. He’s worried Jill’s stay at The Bull will go on and on. Alistair suggests taking a leaf out of Jolene’s book and using the time to bond with Jill. He cites that he’s become a lot closer to his dad since living with him. On her return, Jolene is shocked by Kenton’s apology for not appreciating the effort Jolene is making with Jill. He credits Alistair for helping him shift his perspective. Jolene’s relieved Alistair didn’t share the trouble he and Shula had with Jim when he stayed with them after breaking his leg.
