Sean's stunned by the contents of his cracker
Christmas Day - Part 1

It's Christmas morning in Albert Square and Sean's wiring up a sound system, ready to sing to Roxy. She's thrilled by his sentiments, but Sean continues to grate on Archie. A little later on, Archie overhears Sean telling Roxy that in a few hours' time, they'll be miles away from Walford and settling into their new home. Archie's waiting patiently for Suzy.

As Peggy and the rest of the family settle down for the lunch, a half-cut Suzy stumbles into The Vic and heads straight for the bar. Archie
drags her to one side and asks her what she's planning on doing with the paternity test results. Suzy, however, demands her money otherwise she'll drop him in it. As Archie realises that he's starting to lose control, he grabs her. Suzy, however, is blasé about the situation - she has nothing to lose. Finding Roxy alone, Suzy tells her that she knows about Sean not being Amy's dad and that if she doesn't want anyone to know, she wants money.

Panicking, Roxy begins to pack her things and she eventually breaks down when Archie walks in, before confessing that Sean isn't Amy's father and explaining that Suzy's blackmailing her. Cool-headed, Archie assures his daughter that he'll deal with Suzy - he knows a secret of hers, too. Archie asks Suzy to see Roxy upstairs, where Roxy reveals that she knows about her fake pregnancy, but as they're talking Phil walks in and Suzy confesses that she was never pregnant. This leaves Roxy without any ammunition.

Suzy's delighted that Roxy's plan has backfired and as Sean enters the room, Roxy's scared about what Suzy will say. Archie sends Roxy and Sean downstairs and hands Suzy the cash from The Vic's safe. He demands the DNS results from her, but she reveals that she's already planted them somewhere and that he's 'cold'. As Suzy walks out of The Vic, she has some parting words for Archie - he's 'roasting'. With Suzy out of the way, everyone continues with the festivities, clinking glasses and pulling Ben's home-made crackers. Sean, however, is gob-smacked by the gift in his - a copy of the paternity test.

Elsewhere, Bianca receives a hamper; the Masoods help Ian and Jane out with food; and Dot gets a surprise when Jim arrives for Christmas.
