Doc Martin: Control-Alt-Delete (2015)
Season 7, Episode 5
7/10
Going to the Dogs
1 April 2018
The therapy continues as Martin and Louisa try to find a way to join together as true partners. Martin, heavily on the autism spectrum, has a duality. He has trouble interacting with human beings, yet recognizes what could potentially destroy them. In this one he and Louisa are supposed to set up something between them, but neither has the facility to do so. The most visible plot line, however, has to do with that little dog. It drives Martin crazy. He seeks out people to euthanize it and, of course, no one will. Then there is the most ugly scene in the whole series. He gets out a syringe and is likely to kill the dog until he is stopped by Louisa. This leads to his interacting with a woman who uses natural cures in her veterinary practice. She takes Buddy, but he keeps coming back to Doc. The near death of the dog is beyond what a writer should have done. The episode concludes with a bizarre scene involving the female vet.
