If the marriage were to end, we would still have the incredible competence of Martin Ellingham. As offensive as his demeanor is, the little village of Port Wenn would suffer greatly without him. Louisa is off to Spain with the little boy to live with her mother. Martin has offended her once again and she has had enough. It's all about him needing to change (which is pretty much the case), but he has serious issues and serious talent. He and the idiotic policeman go on a breakneck trip to the airport because Martin has noticed an abnormality in Louisa's brain X-ray. The conclusion is very touching but leaves us hanging. Subplots involve Al's effort to talk Ruth into opening a B&B and a near fatal electrocution. Also, we see the pure evil of Martin's mother in an intense confrontation.
