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.

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

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 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 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.
