Elaine Cassidy deliberates whether to interrupt her yoga to answer the phone. Later she meets lover Paul Foster at a craft fair - he's making an effort for her. They have a lovely lunch and go back to hers on the pre-text of him fixing her boiler!

Clearly happy and relaxed in each other's company, he notices she's been looking at job adverts around the country. The mood changes as Elaine explains she can't go on with their ten-year affair. Paul claims he'll leave his wife when his son has left for university.

Paul leaves saying he'll call later, but when he doesn't, Elaine calls The Mill and re-instates her interview for the doctor's position the next day.

Meanwhile, Julia is back at work. Feeling overwhelmed, she hides herself away as much as possible but Zara notices Julia has made a simple error with some paperwork.

Later, as Jimmi and Cherry grab a sneaky moment alone to arrange their date, they discover Julia asleep on his examination table. Julia claims to be fine but notices her hands are shaking once again.

Elsewhere, the tension is evident between Adam Drake and Lisa Coen as she scrutinises a photo of herself in her younger days. Later, she sees Daniel at his Granger Clinic giving her name as Emma Drake - she wants botox, citing the photograph.

When Daniel probes further about her reasons for having the treatment, she says she wants it for her husband. Zara surmises that her husband is having an affair, but unconvinced, Daniel investigates. At home, Lisa and Adam's intimacy is only distant and cold.

Meanwhile, Daniel discovers that Emma Drake is deceased. Concerned, he calls Adam who confirms his wife is dead. Lisa returns to The Mill, but when Daniel challenges her, she runs out and bemused Daniel sees her talking to herself outside.

Daniel goes to see Adam, where he tells him Lisa is Emma's twin sister - after Emma's death they started sleeping together. When Lisa arrives, she admits she has been pretending to Emma as she was so perfect. Adam explains she was far from it - he discovered after her death that she was having an affair. They both realise how disturbing their relationship had become.
