Daniel is out and about making routine house visits, when a call comes into The Mill from Lee Webber (Matthew Hawksley), the grandson of one of Daniel's former patients.
Lee claims his grandmother needs medical attention again.

It's Lee who needs help, after being bitten by a dog while robbing some drug dealers!
Lee's scary criminal associate, Fraser Monroe (Ali Craig) orders Daniel to patch him up there and then.
But Daniel can tell from Lee's injury that he's going to need surgery.
Frightening Fraser, armed with a crowbar, hints that he's not to be messed with and confiscates Daniel's phone...

Things could be looking up for Scarlett Kiernan (Kia Pegg) and her dad, Brian (Simon Lowe), when he heads out on a job interview.
The family is still desperate for money to pay their mounting bills.
At the surgery, receptionist Scarlett approaches boss, Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee), for an advance on her pay.

How much longer will Scarlett be able to keep her money troubles a secret from her work colleagues?
Meanwhile, Ruhma Carter (Bharti Patel) has switched to a different dating app.
One that is more suited to her age group.
