S01E46: Kieran and Adam talk about Heather

Mr Woods and Dr Ormerod visit Dee Wilson, an attractive female patient in her thirties. Woods reveals that Dee’s results are inconclusive, but the fact that she has given up smoking may have exacerbated her ulcerative colitis. Woods informs Dee that she will need to have an operation to remove a section of the colon. However, Dee is adamant that she won’t be having any surgery. Mr Woods believes Dee is against surgery due to vanity reasons, but she assures him it’s purely business. Continuing the argument, Dee stresses the point that any surgery would impact on her career as a lap dancer. Not used to being challenged, Woods hands the matter over to Ormerod who admits to Dee that there is a non-surgical way, which might work. Determined not to have surgery, Dee is keen to hear Ormerod’s ideas.

As the doctors leave Dee, her younger partner, Tony Ellis, arrives. As Pearl sees him, she’s not happy and tells Gemma that he terrorised the ward when he was a patient, all to feed his habit. However, Ormerod tells the pair that Tony is a reformed character, but they don't believe him. Will Tony prove that he is a new man?

Elsewhere, Heather watches a gloomy Norman stir his tea and guesses his ex-girlfriend Maisy is on his mind. Heather reassures Norman that you can’t always plan how your love life will turn out. As Adam walks into the room, Heather loudly tells Norman it’s best not to have high expectations, that way you won’t be let down. Are Norman and Heather destined to be unlucky in love?

Meanwhile, in A&E, Kieran and Sarah examine Richie who is escorted by his heavily pregnant wife, Emma. Emma informs Sarah that Richie has been suffering from severe headaches, which she thinks may be linked to playing rugby. When Emma leaves for the toilet, Richie takes the opportunity to inform Sarah that his uncle and grandfather both died from brain tumours. He’s worried that the headaches may be a sign of a tumour, but doesn’t want his wife to know due to the pregnancy. Will Richie’s worries be founded and can he protect his wife from stress that may harm the baby?

Later, back in the consulting room, Ormerod and Pearl assess Dee’s condition and take her blood pressure. When Ormerod leaves, Dee tries to persuade Pearl that Tony isn’t the same person he used to be. As Dee continues with the non surgical treatment, she begins to suffer from chest pains. Will Dee be able to leave hospital without having to undergo surgery?

That afternoon, Kieran and Adam talk about Heather. Kieran is sure that Adam still wants to be with Heather, but Adam isn’t so sure after the way she’s been acting towards him. Will Adam realise he still has feelings for Heather and try to win her back?
