Worried Susan grills hungover George about last night\u2019s drinking. What got into him \u2013 was it about the car accident? She knows that George was saying strange things. Pat can tell that George is hungover, and Susan thinks George is worried about going to court. Pat goes to George and shares how awful it was when she was in court for Helen\u2019s hearing. George simply needs to say what happened, exactly as he remembers it. It won\u2019t be pleasant, but if he tells the truth he\u2019ll be fine.

Alistair feels optimistic that things seem to be improving with Paul at work, but Denise fears losing Paul forever and feels so alone. Alistair tells her to go and talk to Paul \u2013 he\u2019ll hold the fort at the Vets\u2019.

After a tense confrontation on the doorstep, Paul allows Denise in and demands all the details. Denise admits the affair started when Paul and his Dad were away in St Lucia. As pieces fall into place, Paul realises that Jakob knew, and learns about Jim and Jazzer knowing as well. There was no injured sheep on the night of the crash, as Denise admits she had a night in a hotel with Alistair planned, so even Mick lied too. Denise begs Paul not to resign from the Practice. But Paul comes in to the Vets\u2019 and has made a decision \u2013 he\u2019s not going anywhere. He\u2019s done nothing wrong \u2013 so the deal is, they will be professional, and he\u2019ll only communicate with them about work matters. If they can\u2019t deal with that than they can find somewhere else to work. Agreed?
