Melody gets caught in the crossfire when two women who are bitter rivals both enter the Miss Letherbridge competition, as the drama set in a Midlands health centre continues.
Julia returns to work and the first person she sees is Lily. Julia is outraged to find Heston has employed Lily and offered her a partnership, and that Ruth is on reception and trying, but failing, to administer Heston's new five-minute system. Appalled by Heston going behind her back, Julia insists they return to the old way of seeing patients.
Melody feels sorry for Heston coming under Julia's fire, and apologises for her part in the gossip about the supposed rent boy. Heston appreciates her apology and asks if everyone thought he was gay, including Lily.
Within Michelle's earshot, Ruth asks Daniel out on another date. Daniel gives her his usual polished and charming brush-off. Michelle isn't surprised.
Melody is played by Elizabeth Bower, Julia by Diane Keen, Lily by Seeta Indrani, Heston by Owen Brenman, Ruth by Selina Chilton, Michelle by Donnaleigh Bailey and Daniel by Matthew Chambers.

The last programme in the series examines The Street Look
The styles created on the street and for the street are explored in the final episode of the series flying the flag for British fashion.
It is often said that British style is restrained and conservative, but over the past 50 years our street styles have proved that theory to be a cosy myth – it is at least as influential as high fashion in shaping the world's ideas of British style. Teds, Mods, skinheads, casuals and "chavs" have created a tradition that is loud, proud and in-your-face.
The programme explores these extraordinary style sects and their passionate desire to impress, show off and self-express.
The Ted look was edgy, dangerous, disrespectful, brazen and uniquely British. The style was seized on by some of the poorest kids in Britain and turned into something that oozed with sweat and sex.
Mod style was a subtle, clean-cut insurrection. Mobile and moneyed, it was a stylistic reflection of prosperity and possibility. The super smart, sleek look was a British synthesis of the most glacially cool influences and symbolised everything that was smart, new and exciting about Britain in the Sixties.
The skinheads followed – a fiercely neat reaction against the "let it all hang out" hippy style. Stripped down and militaristic, the boots and jeans nodded toward their proletarian roots and Crombies and brogues were smash-and-grab raids on British gentlemen's outfitting.
In 1977, Liverpool witnessed the first stirrings of a style sect that would shape the way British men dress today. The casuals revolution saw sportswear take over British style, largely due to football fans suddenly exposed to Euro style on away trips to the continent. The look lured thousands of young men into an obsession with labels that has never receded – though for some labels this infatuation became "abuse"; witness the upmarket check of Burberry becoming the symbol of the much-maligned and so-called "chav".
Contributors include Charlie Watts (Rolling Stones), Robert Elms and Paulo Hewitt, plus the original wearers of British street style – Teds, Mods, skinheads and casuals.
