Joe hasn't slept much over the weekend and he still has a headache, as the drama set in a Midlands health centre continues. However, he is determined to do his fair share of work and, later, when George asks him to do her a favour and take on her last home visit of the morning, he feels unable to say no.
He goes to see a woman who is grief-stricken following the death of her parents, who died in quick succession of each other. Joe also discovers that she is obsessed with a French film star, and tries to make her see that she needs help.
Towards the end of the day, Vivien finally persuades Joe to go home a little early, but when Melody asks him if he'll become her mentor again, he feels obliged to say yes and ends up staying in the office with her.
Meanwhile, Julia returns from her Stratford mini-break with Mal and is full of life, love and poetry. George can't resist a few gentle questions about how lavish the mini-break was and is curious as to who paid for it.
Later, Nick sees Caroline, a patient with dermatitis who is suffering from stress because of her acrimonious divorce, but this doesn't stop her flirting with Nick. Michelle witnesses the flirty farewell in reception and teases Nick about it.
Joe is played by Stephen Boxer, George by Stirling Gallacher, Vivien by Anita Carey, Melody by Elizabeth Bower, Julia by Diane Keen, Nick by Michael McKell and Michelle by Donnaleigh Bailey. Mal is played by Ray Fearon and Caroline by Rae Baker.

Dave Myers and Simon King go
in search of pies and pasties
as they journey from Cornwall
to Scotland Pies and pasties take the Hairy Bikers – masquerading as the Hairy Bakers in this series – on the long trip from Cornwall to Scotland.
Dave Myers and Simon King start in the far south west, cooking traditional pasties at Geevor Tin Mine in Cornwall. Once made, the pasties – and the boys – face the ultimate test: the locals. They hope their pasties are good enough to impress.
Later, they head north to the Midlands and visit an orchard in Abberley, Worcestershire, to produce a succulent, deep-filled apple pie. From there, it's on to Melton Mowbray, where they try their hand at making hand-raised pork pies at Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe.
Heading further north, the boys' journey takes a detour via Dave's house on Roa Island on the north west coast. There, they rustle up two of their favourite pies: for Si, it's a chicken and wild mushroom in classic white wine and tarragon sauce, while Dave opts for a more humble cheese and onion pie with a super-tasty parmesan crust.
Finally, they travel to Huntly in Aberdeenshire – Dave's old stomping ground – where the hungry hairy bikers sample an extraordinary range of pies including Scotch, macaroni and mashed potato and baked bean pie.
Their journey ends on the banks of the River Deveron, where they cook a salmon coulibiac – a whole fish stuffed with prawns wrapped in filo pastry and baked en croute – and feed it to an assembled company of pipers and highland dancers.

Tonight's Prom, from London's Royal Albert Hall, features perhaps Britain's greatest living conductor, Sir Colin Davis, and arguably the world's greatest youth orchestra, the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, which is made up of the best young musicians drawn from across Europe. The concert is the culmination of their 2008 European summer tour.
The programme features Beethoven's monumental violin concerto, played by the dynamic Danish violinist Nikolaj Znaider, who views this work as the violinist's "bible" and the "ultimate challenge". The second half of the concert consists of just one work – Sibelius's great statement of pride and love for his native Finland: his Second Symphony. Rich in memorable melodies and folk references, it was written at a time when Finland was struggling against repressive Russian sanctions on the Finnish language and culture, earning it the popular title, Symphony of Independence.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny, the programme features an interview with Znaider, who talks about the Beethoven piece and his life as an international soloist. There's also a short, filmed interview with conductor Sir Colin Davis. Other contributions come from regular Proms guests double bassist Chi Chi Nwanoku and composer Steve Martland, who talk about the music and the performances.
Digital viewers can press Red on their remote controls for programme notes during the performance.
