Scarlett and her dad Brian are finding they just can’t make ends meet on her wage alone, and Brian, who’s struggling with a back injury and unable to work, is left further stressed after attending his latest Jobcentre appointment.
Not wanting to worry his daughter, he keeps quiet about the meeting, but Scarlett learns the truth when she finds a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions, stating that he won’t receive sickness benefit for at least 12 weeks. Will loans and credit cards be the only ‘answer’?
Meanwhile, Ruhma agrees to a date with a man called Suhaan, and he’s a big improvement on the last fella as he actually turns up and brings her a single red rose. But things go rapidly downhill when he drinks more than he ought to and ends up harping on about his ex-wife, who left him. Is it back to the drawing board for the unlucky-in-love midwife?
Also this week, Zara fears Al is going to cause more trouble when he gives an interview about vaccinations to a medical trade journal, while she and Daniel finally start to make headway with troublesome teen Izzie.
