Martin returns to Portwenn, but without Louisa. She has gone to stay with her mother in Spain to take some time out to think, and Martin is left wondering if she will ever come back. Aunt Ruth has found him a therapist.

Louisa and Martin have their first therapy session together, but neither of them expected to be given homework.

Martin and Louisa do not seem to be having much success with their therapy, so Dr Timoney advises that they should try and take things back to the beginning of their relationship and plan a date.

After Martin and Louisa tell Dr Timoney about their failed date night, she questions their ultimate compatibility. Erica, the new art teacher at Portwenn school, moves in with her daughter Bernie.

Martin reaches breaking point after being followed around by stray dog Buddy, so Louisa and Morwenna persuade him to find a new home for the dog with local vet Angela Sim.

If anyone is going to be able to help Martin change his ways, Dr Rachel Timoney seems well qualified. Louisa's return further raises questions about her and Martin's relationship.
