Miles doesn't hold back when it comes to his opinions about some of the current University tutors!
But Zara's happy bubble is burst when Miles makes a cryptic comment about her being ''unmasked''.

Will Zara's professional reputation become a laughing joke before she's even started her new job?

But Rob gets distracted when his phone flashes-up a memory photo of his late wife, Karen.
Emma and Rob discuss the nature of his grief and the GP tries to help the heartbroken policeman.
To show his thanks for all the help and support, Rob gets busy in the kitchen and cooks-up a SURPRISE for both Emma and her other lodger, Luca McIntyre (Ross McLaren)!
