Doc and Louisa can't get on the same page. No matter how hard they try. It's painful to watch the downward spiral of events and emotions. It also doesn't help that his mother is standing by watching (and enjoying) it all. Louisa reminds the Doc about helping at field day at school -- and he does attend -- but somewhere between the wheelbarrow races and the awards ceremony, all of their emotions come to a head in a most destructive way.
Ruth corners Margaret (the Doc's mother) while she's out for a walk with James and insists they have a coffee and chat. After all these years, there's a few things Ruth needs to get off her chest. Such as why Margaret's really in Portwenn, whether or not she killed her husband (Ruth's brother), and to really lay into her about what an awful parent she was to Martin. All in attempt to get her to leave town because she senses Margaret's presence is causing even more damage to the Doc. And she's right.
Mike tries for another date with Morwenna, but before he close the deal the MPs show up looking for him...you know, since he's AWOL. Al throws the police off the scent so Mike can make a break for it, but Penhale has other plans. He doesn't want to hand him over to the MPs but he's not letting him off the hook either. Luckily the Doc steps in to settle things down.
In the end, Louisa informs Martin that, as it's school break, she's taking James to Spain. Indefinitely. She wants a break...from him.
Beating a dead horse, a broken collar bone, the perfect sous chef, a desperate mother, close talkers, and breaking free from OCD (amongst other things)... it's like a train wreck, folks... you just can't look away!
Enjoy Listen with Mother...
