'Smash The System'

Mrs Tembe is disappointed after learning that she was unsuccessful in her application for the practice manager's position, but is left with no time to dwell as the successful candidate arrives. Heston introduces Howard Bellamy, who proceeds to ruffle a few feathers with his brusque manner. He tells the team that he'll do his best to get them through the re-accreditation and proceeds to appraise all aspects of surgery life.

Kevin's ego is boosted when Howard gives him a special assignment to complete, but the rest of the team complain about their 'homework' to be completed for the next day. As Howard erases all trace of Julia, Freya thinks that life at The Mill will never be the same again…

Meanwhile, 'Chimmi' go running again, but they're at cross purposes as Jimmi wants to run and Cherry wants to talk. In the end, Cherry reluctantly lets Jimmi run on.

Elsewhere, a student protest causes a rift between Mandy and Freya, but Mandy puts herself in danger when she tries to prove a point.
