Also, Kim will not forgive Lydia, but that doesn’t mean loyal Lids will go anyway. Kim has no choice but to accent Lydia’s help. But there’s not a chance Kim will thaw this Christmas… is there?

Elsewhere, Jacob and Sarah are desperate to get their family to their secret wedding without blowing the secret. But with Pollard and Charity refusing to attend, things are getting stressful.
