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
