affair. She asks Dan to persuade John Reginald to make Will a partner at the
health centre. Dan says he will try.

very highly of him.
The
Beeches crew attend an opera recital. Jack and Ellie are bored stiff, whilst
Sarah spends the evening flirting and exchanging looks with Dan. Jack and Ellie
convince Beth to take a weekend off as she is exhausted. Beth says shared
nightcalls with the health centre would be the perfect solution - if they
weren't at war.
Gemma
takes a shine to Jack as he treats her injury. After he finishes surgery he
finds a package on his car bonnet. It is a tape from Gemma telling him how much
she loves him.
The
following day Beth heads off for break, unaware of Gemma's feelings for Jack.

upset that Will is covering for Beth, she accuses him of being at Beth's beck
and call. Will says he is doing Beth a favour. Sarah calls Dan and asks if they
could do something together as Will is on call - he says yes.

for Gemma. Luckily she doesn't take any of the pills. But Jack tells Kim she has
to be more careful - she promises not to let him down again.

waits for Jack at the pub, he takes her home. He explains to her that they can
not be an item as she is just a child. Outside her house Gemma kisses Jack and

and tells him what she saw. Dan immediately tells Gemma's dad who confronts his
daughter.

tells her parents that Jack loves her and that they have plans to move in
together. Alan storms into The Beeches and shouts at Jack telling him he is
going to have him struck off - the perfect time for Beth to walk back through
the door.
