Doc Martin gasps for a moment, the weakly asks Pauline, "I take it you're the patient of Christmas Past?"

Pauline cheerfully responds, "Hi Doc! I guess you could say I'm a type of patient of Christmas Past. I was on my way to an ugly sweater party in Delabole."

Doc Martin bluntly interrupts, "That explains the hideous sweater."

Pauline continues, jokingly at first, "Do you think I would win?. Anyway, I was passing through Portwenn on the way to Delabole and had an accident on my motorbike. My ankle feels sprained, but I've limped on my other ankle up the road to your surgery since I knew you'd be able to take care of me."

Doc Martin responds, "Proceed into my exam room."

Doc Martin examines her ankle and confirms it is sprained. As he is attending to it, Pauline reminiscences with Doc Martin about some of the good Christmas memories they have had together over the years. "Do you remember some of the great Christmas memories we've had together over the years, including my first Christmas in Portwenn when I went Christmas caroling with Roger Finn while we made our way to the school for the annual Christmas program, then afterwards we went back to your cottage for a Christmas gathering? Those were some fun times!"

Pauline begins to have a flashback over her first Christmas in Portwenn. She joins in with Roger Finn and they stroll through the streets of the village on their way to the school for the annual Christmas program while singing "Angels From the Realms of Glory".

Angels from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o'er all the earth;

Ye who sang creation's story,

Now proclaim Messiah's birth:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

The scene in Pauline's mind changes with everyone inside the school auditorium, including Aunt Joan, watching Louisa direct the children in singing "Good Christian Men, Rejoice" for the annual school Christmas program.

Good Christian men, rejoice with heart and soul, and voice;

Give ye heed to what we say: News! News! Jesus Christ is born today;

Ox and ass before Him bow; and He is in the manger now.

Christ is born today! Christ is born today!

The final scene in Pauline's mind finishes up inside Doc Martin's cottage with the villagers singing "Deck the Halls" while decorating the reception room of Doc Martin's cottage.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Tis the season to be jolly

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Follow me in merry measure

Fa la la la la, la la la la

While I tell of Yule tide treasure

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Doc Martin wakes Pauline out of her reminiscences, "Pauline, Pauline, Pauline!"

Pauline briskly responds, "Yes, Doc!"

Doc Martin, sounding slightly caring, asks, "Are you OK?"

Pauline casually replies, "Oh, I'm fine, Doc! I'll be fine. I can rest here while you wrap everything up and go to the annual Christmas program. They're still having the annual Christmas programs at the school, aren't they?"

Doc Martin responds in a monotone, "Yes. My brother is directing it this year."

Pauline perks up, "Oh my you have a brother! When did this happen?"

Doc Martin brushes her off, "Long story. I don't have time to go over it now. I have a Christmas program to attend to."
