After their tumultuous time last series, Louisa has gone for a break to visit her mother in Spain and to have some time to think, and get some perspective on their relationship. Martin is faced with the questions, will Louisa come back to him, and what can he do to make sure that she does?

Louisa and Martin have their first therapy session together, though neither of them was expecting that they would be given homework. Meanwhile, Peter Cronk gets some work experience at the surgery.

Martin has decided he will be the one to move out of the surgery to allow Louisa the space she needs, which Louisa does really appreciate.

Al welcomes his first fishing guests, but an uninvited one means that a good review is definitely not guaranteed, while Bert decides to try to rejuvenate trade at the restaurant by joining an online voucher scheme. Morwenna asks Martin for a pay rise, and Louisa has to find a new babysitter to look after James Henry and reluctantly decides to offer Janice a trial. Penhale is excited to receive his new police issue Taser, but Portwenn does not exactly offer him plenty of opportunities to try it out.

Martin reaches breaking point with being followed around by Buddy. He resolves to find a vet to have him put him down.

Louisa is very worried about Martin, and wonders if the breakdown of their therapy could have led him to decide to leave Portwenn for good.
