As Christmas approaches Mary Ann confides in Mouse her suspicions of Norman's creepy behavior and snoops around his flat, finding pornographic pictures of Lexi. Mona tracks down Dorothea's parents and invites them for lunch on Christmas Eve. She is amazed to find that they are white and the tablets she found in Dorothea's cabinet were to darken her skin, as it gave her more modeling work. After initial shock there is reconciliation. Norman has found out the secret that Anna told Edgar and intends blackmail. Anna was once a man, Andy Ramsay, who had a sex change operation twenty years earlier. However, after Mary Ann has confronted him over the pictures of Lexi, they argue and he falls off a cliff to his death. Mary Ann returns to Barbary Lane and, having burnt Norman's file on Anna without reading it, joins Mouse, Mona, Brian and Connie to celebrate Christmas with their landlady. Some days later Edgar slips away, having learnt of DeDe's news and asking her to call her baby Anna if it is a girl. The funeral over, Anna visits Edgar's grave, placing a joint on it and bidding him to have fun. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
