Worried Susan grills hungover George about last night’s drinking. What got into him – was it about the car accident? She knows that George was saying strange things. Pat can tell that George is hungover, and Susan thinks George is worried about going to court. Pat goes to George and shares how awful it was when she was in court for Helen’s hearing. George simply needs to say what happened, exactly as he remembers it. It won’t be pleasant, but if he tells the truth he’ll be fine.

Alistair feels optimistic that things seem to be improving with Paul at work, but Denise fears losing Paul forever and feels so alone. Alistair tells her to go and talk to Paul – he’ll hold the fort at the Vets’.

After a tense confrontation on the doorstep, Paul allows Denise in and demands all the details. Denise admits the affair started when Paul and his Dad were away in St Lucia. As pieces fall into place, Paul realises that Jakob knew, and learns about Jim and Jazzer knowing as well. There was no injured sheep on the night of the crash, as Denise admits she had a night in a hotel with Alistair planned, so even Mick lied too. Denise begs Paul not to resign from the Practice. But Paul comes in to the Vets’ and has made a decision – he’s not going anywhere. He’s done nothing wrong – so the deal is, they will be professional, and he’ll only communicate with them about work matters. If they can’t deal with that than they can find somewhere else to work. Agreed?
