Louisa has gone for a break to visit her mother in Spain and to have some time to think. Martin is faced with the questions: will Louisa come back to him; and what can he do to make sure that she does?

An exasperated Louisa has taken baby James to stay with Eleanor in Spain, hoping for time to think over the future of her marriage. She has only rung Martin once - and to his annoyance the whole village knows. Martin is also concerned for lifeboat captain Steve Barker , whom he believes to have testicular cancer and who is being televised for the lifeboat's centenary. When Steve blacks out and crashes the boat on a deserted cove with Morwenna on board Martin comes to the rescue and discovers that Steve has tried to deceive him in order to keep his position. Finally Martin agrees to see therapist Rachel Timoney to curb his short temper but whilst they are in session Louisa phones.—don @ minifie-1
