Festive feelings are in short supply, and forget leftover turkey; Carrigstown is serving up an explosive holiday menu of lies, family feuds, and criminal confessions across Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day!
Christmas Chaos: Lies and Tributes
Christmas Day is all about emotion and deceit. Hayley and Sharon brave a difficult day to scatter Anto’s ashes, but a touching moment comes when Hayley is overwhelmed by James’s gift for the baby – a framed photo of Anto.
Elsewhere, Paul is deep in the trenches, lying to Steo and sweetening JJ up with a bottle of stolen wine before pushing him to accelerate their money-laundering scheme. But the first crack appears when Steo spots the wine and questions JJ. Elsewhere, the Kira-vs-Nikki war over Sean peaks, resulting in Darren deleting the phone number of Sean’s date before a necessary truce is called to manage the kids’ expectations.
Boxing Day Breakdown: Monopoly Mayhem
The fun stops on Boxing Day as Babs demands a tidy house, seizing the internet router to force family interaction. Things go sideways fast when Lorcan, Greg, Jess, and Ruby settle down for Monopoly. Greg and Lorcan clash, ending with Greg shoving Lorcan into Taylor’s new toy and smashing it! Babs returns to chaos and decides a party is the only way to lift spirits.
In other news, a new war is brewing over the baby: James and Hayley suggest a naming ceremony with Rafferty and Ger as ‘Guideparents,’ but Sharon and Emma confer and agree the baby must have a traditional christening. Ger and Rafferty fear their first duty might be to stop a family clash!
New Year’s Day: Sins Exposed
The holiday cheer evaporates on New Year’s Day as the money-laundering drama begins to unravel. JJ advises a distressed Lorcan to confess that he lied to the Gardaí. But Ruby calls JJ with a bombshell of her own, Lorcan is actually covering for Steo.
Lorcan then confides in Carol that he plans to confess, forcing Steo to finally admit the truth.
Meanwhile, at the baby’s naming ceremony, Sharon is heartbroken without Anto. Hayley is stunned when she spots a photo on Ger’s phone from the secret baptism, but her annoyance softens when she realises how much it meant to Sharon and Emma.
