Nigel confuses his memories with events in the present, so he’s visited by ghosts from Christmas past – Pat and Barry.
Phil and Julie find Nigel in The Vic. Phil finally accepts that he and Julie will need more help with Nigel’s care. He has a heart-to-heart with Nigel, preparing to tell him the truth.
Meanwhile, unaware of what’s going on, the Walford residents continue to watch the film.
Events are cut short when Phil asks everyone to leave. Once alone with the film, though, Phil comes to a realisation.
