Not for the first time, Kate is being sued, but this time by Councillor Bone.

Koji discovers he is under investigation for working illegally, and things do not improve when he tells Kate what he really thinks about her grandson.

However, a stand-off cannot last forever, especially with the fate of the cafe and Koji's asylum status hanging in the balance.

When Kate's flashy ex-husband Dennis arrives in town with his much younger wife, Kate feigns an attachment to Koji. Councillor Bone is sure their relationship is a front, but that doesn't stop a good old-fashioned show down at the pub.

When word reaches them that a storm is headed for town, Kate refuses to step in line, much to the grief of Councillor Bone. Koji discovers he's been given a jacket with an unfortunate history and Medium may have lost Kate a lot of money on the horses.

Despite Kate being sued after an accident in the cafe, she refuses to back down and Koji is reluctant to get involved. Although Medium is convinced she should just apologise and have it over with, Kate suspects the legal threats may have something to do with Councillor Bone.

With Kate and Koji's undercover clinic in full swing, the last thing they need is a visit from Dr Radwan. Medium keeps Koji calm and Kate cooks up a surefire way to get back at an adversary.

Kate develops a strong, if sometimes volatile, friendship with an asylum-seeking African doctor.
