Keen to show Emma he's not still binge-eating, Howard shows her tons of untouched junk food in the boot of his car. To help him stay in control, Emma takes a packet of biscuits out and tells him he can have one biscuit now and one later. Meanwhile, Zara discovers Howard's avoiding calls from Gary Lucas, who wants to build a polyclinic that will be in direct competition with The Mill. When she finds Howard in his office eating his biscuit, she demands he stop stuffing his face and pull himself together - they could lose everything.

Later, when Howard questions why Al's been carrying a Tupperware pot around, Al reveals it contains newts that he thinks Howard should plant on the polyclinic site - and the fact he's a Special Constable gives him perfect cover. Howard reluctantly takes Al's pot and when Karen asks what he's doing with Al's lunch, he insists he's taking it home to refrigerate. Later, Howard makes his way to the building site...

Elsewhere, Kevin's shocked when Daniel confesses that he overheard Gloria discussing his impotency issues. Sigourney tries to get Kevin in the mood with a saucy phone call, which she denies is Gloria's idea - even though her mum's standing beside her. Later, Sigourney dresses up as a nurse but still Kevin can't perform. Sigourney heads off to get changed leaving Kevin with his head buried in his hands.

Also, Mandy sees a patient who is keeping a secret from her husband and comes up with an unusual solution to their problem.
