Rowena Mitchell (20s) comes in with stomach pain asking to see Daniel who gave her painkillers the day before. Daniel is unavailable so she has to wait for another doctor. Eventually, the pain recedes and fed up of waiting, she leaves. On the street, she’s suddenly struck by sharp pains and so returns and is seen by a concerned Emma who discovers that she has suffered from severe period pain for a long time.

Emma agrees to join Zara and Daniel for a chat about patient Rowena Mitchell. Zara buys pastries. Daniel explains Rowena’s history and is interested to know if Emma would have tested for endometriosis. Emma accuses Zara of being more concerned with appearances than learning from their mistakes and Zara storms out.

Rob surprises Karen with lunch at a very expensive restaurant. High spirited after copious amounts of wine they finally emerge and Karen gets into a slight altercation with homeless beggar Maisie Pritchett (70s) after she laughs at them for being drunk. But then Maisie starts crying and Karen and Rob discover she’s lost her cat. They offer to help her find it and Maisie leads them to an outhouse where she fears Kitty has become stuck down a pipe. On his hands and knees and with direction from Karen, Rob tries to get the cat out. But while they have their backs turned an unexpected events leaves them pondering.
