Emma deals with a Community Midwife who's trying to hide the fact that she's killed her husband with a frying pan. Howard tries to sort out the 'Karen Problem' with the partners, & Heston conducts a Panto read-through.
Midwife Nikki Cranson rings the police after finding her husband dead in their kitchen and a pregnant, homeless girl who barged in looking for food is the immediate suspect. The police are less than convinced by Nikki's story though and eventually she confesses to Emma that she is a domestic abuse victim who struck out in self-defence. At the surgery Howard agrees that Karen should be given light duties and Heston almost quits after his cast criticize his script but is persuaded by Valerie not to give up.—don @ minifie-1
