While at the surgery, local veterinarian Angela comments on Buddy, the dog, not being himself. Buddy’s condition worsens and Martin rushes him to Angela’s surgery. He discovers Angela can barely see and diagnoses cat scratch fever. But her condition means she can’t operate on Buddy, and that the Doc must carry out the surgery himself, under her guidance, to save the dog.
One of Louisa’s clients, Bethany Degan, arrives at the surgery unannounced, posing a dilemma for Louisa. She knows she shouldn’t be seeing her, but she just cannot turn away a desperate child, and hopes a quick session will not do any harm.
Meanwhile Ruth is increasingly concerned about Martin’s upcoming final GMC assessment. She tries to offer advice, but quickly realizes it is falling on deaf ears – until his blood phobia causes him to pass out again. Both Ruth and Louisa think an intervention may be the only thing that can help.
