Episode Summary
Josh is ready to start photographing for the calendar and is speechless when Nikki takes off her top, positioning the defibrillator pads over her breasts. Desperate to become involved, Bex begs to accompany Harry to his photo shoot with Lord Lichfield. Other staff create similarly raunchy poses until Lord Lichfield offers to shoot the pictures himself. Josh graciously admits that professional ones would be better. Comfort is disgusted with the whole thing, even more so when it is revealed that a woman who has collected £20,000 for her son’s leukaemia treatment has been lying in order to get a free holiday.
Tally susses that Harry has been self-prescribing. She conveys her worries to Simon and he spitefully logs the information as ammunition. He flaunts his relationship with Tally in Harry’s face by appearing half-naked in his dressing gown back at their house. Fuming, Harry tries to throw him out until Simon threatens to uncover his secret unless they discuss his career options.
Claire is angry when Keith takes an overdose, but is distraught when Joan blames her.
After initially refusing Jim’s apology, Nikki finds it hard to say no when he offers to match the cost of the plane fare to New York with a donation to the disaster fund.
Meanwhile, Roxy arrives at work in a brand-new car, saying she won it in a competition. Word spreads of her good fortune and she admits she actually bought it herself.
