It's the first episode in season 4, and it seems Louisa has left Portwenn for some time after the non-wedding. However, the Doc can’t help but to look for her around town whenever he sees long brown hair in a ponytail.
The show opens with the Doc carrying a bag of something... and it's leaving a trail of blood all along the streets of Portwenn, all the way back to the surgery. It’s an organ. Possibly a liver. A bloody liver. He puts it in a tin and grabs a scalpel. Looks like someone is trying to face some demons. But why now?
Bert comes to the surgery. He’s got a feeling. Something’s missing in his life and he discusses it with the Doc... because the Doc can “understand” what it’s like to be alone. Bert’s looking for a little romance. And Al’s just the guy to help him find a lady-friend. But is Bert really ready to meet the "needs" of the modern woman?
Yeah. This is good stuff.
Mrs. Tishell’s husband, Clive, arrives home. He works as a safety officer on a rig out in the Sea and it seems that the constant banging noise out there has affected his hearing. Sexually-deprived (read: randy) Clive is happy to be home with his wife... unfortunately Sal isn’t quite feeling all warm and fuzzy about him being back.
But she’ll take care of that.
And an old colleague of the Doc’s is circling Portwenn. Edith. It's pretty clear that she was more than just a past colleague. She’s doing research at the hospital in Truro where she and Doc run into each other - and where she proceeds to belittle his work as a GP. Edith's the complete opposite of Louisa. The Doc finds this slightly refreshing in a weird, might-need-a-rebound-no-strings-attached kinda way. She’s an extremely cold person. So cold, in fact, she makes the Doc seem caring and kind.
But not so fast, Dr. Crazy Lady. It’s the end of the episode... and since the writers love their viewers... there’s a knock on the door. And there’s a big surprise waiting on the other side...
Poor Doc is facing the devil, for sure. Which one will he choose to conquer first? Season 4 starts off with a bang. Hold on to your hats! Enjoy... Better the Devil...
