After Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) tells her that the school nativity was cancelled due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, Tiffany signs a petition for it to still take place, although, Aaron manipulates her into believing that the real reason that the nativity was cancelled was due to 'snowflakes' trying to cancel Christmas traditions and the holiday altogether and convinces her to post pictures of herself with English flags on her face and petitions on social media due to her high following.

In the letter, Tiffany instructs Keegan to meet her at the tube if he wants to continue their marriage and also puts their divorce papers inside, saying that if he doesn't turn up, he can sign the divorce papers and she will leave for Germany. Tiffany gives the letter to Keegan before heading to the tube, but Liam had removed the letter from the envelope, leaving only the divorce papers and Tiffany's half of their jigsaw necklace inside. Keegan is devastated to discover what's inside the letter and theretofore, doesn't turn up at the tube to meet Tiffany.
