A nervous Al prepares to play Santa at Mrs Tembe's church Christmas party and, with Niamh's help, gets through the day - just about. Equally reluctant to attend is little Tom Culkin, dragged in by his father Simon, who is fleeing from the fact that his ex-wife wants custody of the boy. Tom is unsettled by the news and runs away but Mrs Tembe's friend Kim Berry gives him and Simon encouragement that they will still be able to see each other.
