Chaos looms for a single mother who has been depressed since her partner died, as the drama set in a Midlands health centre continues.
The woman wants to keep her baby but she isn't the biological mother – her partner was. The partner's parents now want the child and Ronnie and Nick find themselves in a dilemma, as Ronnie is acting for the grandparents and Nick has been treating the mother for depression.
Meanwhile, Vivien returns to work following the break-in at her home and, as stubborn as ever, won't let Jimmi help her. She does, however, let him prescribe some sleeping pills for her after he finds her "resting her eyes" in the staff room.
Melody returns to work and is depressed over the situation with JJ, her job and Archie. Daniel intervenes as an argument escalates between her and Nick and, much to Archie's annoyance, he comforts her.
At home that night, Vivien bolts every lock and chain in the house and props a chair up against the lounge door as she settles on her makeshift bed on the sofa, unable to sleep in her bedroom.
Ronnie is played by Sean Gleeson, Nick by Michael McKell, Vivien by Anita Carey, Jimmi by Adrian Lewis Morgan, Melody by Elizabeth Bower, Archie by Matt Kennard and Daniel by Matthew Chambers.

Mark Kermode looks at the
week's movie releases
Lauren Laverne and Mark Kermode present a mix of classical music and TV cops and show the first iconic buildings of the 21st century on tonight's edition of The Culture Show.
Mark Kermode meets Turner Prize-winning artist Steve McQueen to discuss his latest exhibition at the Barbican. Queen And Country, which runs until 27 July, is a series of facsimile postage stamps commemorating those who have died in the Iraq conflict. He also talks about his new film, Hunger, which focuses on the last days of Irish Republican hunger striker Bobby Sands and picked up the prestigious Camera d'or at Cannes earlier this year.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Vaughan Williams's death, and with the upcoming BBC Proms season featuring many of his key works, Verity Sharp explores his music, including the composer's most famous work, The Lark Ascending.
With the Beijing Olympics just a month away, Tom Dyckhoff is in China to witness the biggest building boom in history. He previews the Beijing National Stadium, which will be hosting many of the Olympic events, and the mammoth CCTV building – the new headquarters of Chinese Central Television. Constructed on an awesome scale, the CCTV tower is set to become one of the most recognisable buildings in the world.
Also in tonight's programme, Mark Kermode gives his views on the week's movie releases, including Mamma Mia!, starring Meryl Streep and directed by Phyllida Lloyd.
There's also music in the studio from Extra Golden, who have combined rock with Kenyan benga music on their second album, Hera Ma Nono.

The seven remaining would-be models face their second assignment – a Fifties pin-up inspired photo shoot – as the search for Britain's Top Missing Model continues. This week, not one, but two models will be eliminated.
The girls, who are all disabled, are sent on a task to find out how comfortable they are with their bodies. Mentor Jonathan Phang asks them each to pick an outfit from an underwear shop ... and then pose in the window as real-life mannequins. For some of the contestants, it would seem that the girls with a less visible disability appear to have an advantage over the others. This is the start of an ongoing debate amongst them that comes up throughout the series.
The next day, they are instructed to attend a test "Go-See" with a prospective client. The casting gives a taste of how harsh and unforgiving the fashion world can be and there's an immediate opportunity to put what they have learnt into practice with another casting. Louis Mariette, jeweller and milliner to the stars, will cast one of them for a professional job. The pressure of the situation sees some of the girls struggle while others thrive.
Once again, they must then face the judges to be critiqued. Everything hinges on the images from their Fifties photo shoot. With so much of themselves on show, they must prove they are at ease with their bodies, are confident and have taken heed of what they were told last time. Another hugely tough decision awaits the panel but, for two of the girls, this is where the competition ends.
This series is part of BBC Three's The Beauty Season. The channel goes behind the gloss with a collection of new programmes challenging conventional notions of beauty. With young people feeling under increasing social pressure from the images of beauty and perfection they see around them, this thought-provoking season questions what it means to be beautiful – and exposes the truth behind the apparently perfect images seen on a daily basis.
