On a positive note, Hansley has turned out to be something of a star turn and the Vag-At is going from strength to strength - at least it was, until a mix up with the oncology Christmas card competition leads to complications.
A delicate situation needs careful handling, as a funny turn with the coma patient has unexpected consequences.
Back on Red Bay, there's bad news for Mrs Dethick and a bittersweet moment as Pippa again diffuses a tricky situation and still finds time to settle up with Hansley.
