Joe makes a clumsy attempt to seduce Anna's nanny and winds up with egg on his face, while Kath is discovered unconscious and rushed into hospital, putting everyone else's problems into perspective.

The locals bid an emotional farewell to Vic and Lucy, and Simon's problems continue to mount as his business crumbles and he is consumed by guilt over his fling with Evelyn. Elsewhere, a dishy gardener steals the heart of a wheelchair-bound patient, while Tom and Beth take advantage of a drunken Joe's incapacity and steal a kiss.
