It is Christmas, and Granville has a large consignment of mistletoe mince pies to shift, but how can he persuade his regulars to buy them? Eric and Cyril refuse to be taken in by the wily grocer's promises of romantic enhancement in every box - but could the pies actually work? The Black Widow decides she is taking Mr Newbold Christmas shopping, Madge and Mavis discuss whether to invite Gastric for Christmas dinner, and Leroy tries to enlist Ruby's help to stop Beth seeing Gerald.
