'House Call'

Daniel is perturbed when Zara announces that she has arranged to see some child-minders later today, with the intention of going back to work in the not-too-distant future. Zara is defensive, saying that she's only looking into the idea, but Daniel can't believe that she'd want to return to work so soon. Later, Zara pops into The Mill to have a word with Julia about returning in a few weeks to work part time. Julia is surprised, but Zara explains that it gives her the best of both worlds - and Julia is more than happy to oblige.

When Zara tells Daniel the good news, he kicks off and can't understand why she's in such a rush to leave Joe. Stung by his comments, she storms off.

Meanwhile, Kevin is still bruising from his run-in with Heston and has little patience for Freya's whining about Mandy. He advises her to take an honest look at herself, claiming that she's just afraid to be happy. Later, Freya bites the bullet and tries to make it up to Mandy. She prepares an elaborate picnic and whisks her away from work. However, Mandy doesn't make it easy for Freya to apologise.

Elsewhere, a dying man is reunited with his son, but Elaine realises all is not as it seems.
