Airing on BBC One on December 20, the episode is set on Christmas Eve, with Conor (Alex Murphy), a pregnant Mairéad (Hilary Rose) and Sgt Healy (Dominic MacHale) preparing for the imminent new arrival.
Conor wants only the best for his mother. But he's still a novice at housework, including washing. So Mairéad decides to give him lessons, clearing out his wash-basket, only to find that Conor is holding something for a "friend".
Unfortunately, that friend turns out to be Hammer, the only person in the world that local nutter Billy Murphy (Shane Casey) is afraid of.
