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.

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.

Martin decides to move out of the surgery and allow Louisa the space she needs, which she appreciates. Louisa is intrigued to meet Martin's therapist Dr Rachel Timoney, but is less enthused when Rachel suggests they should have therapy as a couple.

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

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 finds himself trapped by Annie Winton who desperately wants him to try and save her husband Jim, who has recently been diagnosed as having terminal cancer.
