Sam wakes up, blinking away vague images of coloured lights.
Wake up, Sammy. Please come home for Christmas.
He closes his eyes again, desperately trying to will himself out of this nightmare to absolutely no avail.
Soon enough, he’s back at work where Chris is attempting to untangle a dusty string of fairy lights and Ray brandishes a bedraggled sprig of mistletoe and an especially filthy leer for the unlucky WPCs who cross his path.
Gene lumbers out of his office wearing an utterly incongruous Santa hat as he announces yet another grisly murder.
Mum’s prayers will have to wait.
