SERIES 3 EPISODE 3
COMING IN
Jack, Beth, Will and Isabel have dinner together. However Will is
left in the dark over Isabel's cancer. Isabel tells Beth she's coping well and
refuses Beth's offer of a Macmillan nurse.
A group of people arrive in Cardale. They have a history of mental health and
their presence splits the Cardale community in half. One patient is convinced
that his poorly child is the result of the groups unhealthy living. It is
discovered that the child has Weils disease and more and more patients become
convinced that the rats which cause the disease are coming from the groups home.
With mental illness close to his heart, Jack finds himself fighting the mental
health patients course. Beth is concerned that he is becoming too
involved.
Jack investigates the claim against the group and finds dead cattle near a
stream where the infected children has been playing. Jack, Beth and Laura attend
a meeting to ban mental health patients from residing in Cardale. They are on
the side of the mental health patients and Jack takes the stand to defend them.
He pleads for more care in the community and for the residents of Cardale to
accept them into their lives. Beth tells Jack she is proud of him for standing
his ground.
Isabel takes a long walk through some of her favourite places of the village and
spends some quality time amongst the nature she loves so much.
Jack and Laura attend a tea party where group patients Freddy and Muriel
announce they are getting married. Jack and Laura are pleased to see them living
out some kind of normality.
Beth pays a visit to Isabel. She lets herself in as the door is open. Isabel is
lying on the sofa; she has passed away. Beth sits at her window and takes in all
the beauty Isabel had absorbed just a few hours before. She seems content that
her best friend is now at peace.
