Outside DS Straker and Erika are looking for Kamile – she has seen their faces so they need to kill her.

Claire speaks to Luke, the couple kiss and make up.

Two students, Martin and Helen, come in claiming to have been mugged. Guppy treats Martin – who has a gastric ulcer – and is a patient of his father’s. He needs to ask about Martin’s medication but tells Harry he has not spoken to Jas since they had the argument at work. Harry convinces him he needs to be able to have a working relationship with Jas. Guppy asks about the pills but Jas is angry at his son for not contacting him sooner and belittles him for not having heard of the drugs.
