The Chase

Sarah Williams travels back to her childhood home for her father's wedding, but her return threatens to dig up long-buried secrets concerning her sister's husband. Meanwhile, the groom is too busy operating on a puppy to get to the church on time.

Sarah prepares for her first day at work, but is made to feel unwelcome by her manager, Deborah. Nevertheless, she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work on a Border collie. However, after diagnosing the problem, she is faced with a lack of necessary resources, prompting her to walk out.

George waits for his passport to arrive so he can go on honeymoon, while Claudie makes her presence felt in the household, infuriating her stepchildren in the process. Meanwhile, chaos erupts on the day of Imogen's christening as Anna uncovers a secret, Sarah expresses an interest in ultrasound technology and George is unhappy at the rapid rate of change in his practice.

Tom has a sleepless night after helping a cow give birth, and a lack of rest leads to him mistakenly castrating a prize stud dog. His worries are compounded when Anna becomes angry about his secretive behaviour, and a visit from his dying father makes matters even worse.

Claudie's past catches up with her when Matt finds out someone is drawing money from his dead grandmother's pension, and an investigator informs him the money has been paid into an account in Malta. Meanwhile, tensions rise in the surgery when Deborah and Fiona propose cutting Margaret's hours because of her continual lateness, prompting Tom to believe there may be an ulterior motive to their suggestion.

Margaret saves the practice from a PR disaster on the day of its relaunch. However, the staff are surprised to see that the business' new sign doesn't bear George's name. Meanwhile, Clare jumps to conclusions when she overhears Rick speaking to another woman on the phone, and Sarah becomes distressed when she receives a worrying letter from David.
