A snowstorm blankets Aidensfield, leading to an emergency landing of a plane. Onboard are a couple, but the pilot flees just as his wife goes into labor. Nick steps up to assist and ends up delivering the baby himself. He and Jo take the new mother and her premature infant back to their cottage, facing several challenges. Meanwhile, they discover the pilot is a fugitive, and Claude helps Nick track him down. In another twist, Phil and Alf get trapped in a snowdrift while Alf is supposed to be Santa, so Claude fills in. Luckily, Alf is freed in time, resulting in two Santas at the nativity play! The episode wraps up with Nick proposing to Jo.
