Louisa is on the mend so she continues with her plans to leave for Spain with James. Saying goodbye to his wife--and especially his son--hits the Doc hard. Desperation sets in and he runs to Ruth for perspective. She lays it on the line for Martin and so he makes his own plans to leave for Spain to be with Louisa and James. While making airline reservations, though, he reviews Louisa's brain scan from the recent accident and sees something startling. Now it's a race to get to the airport to stop her from getting on her flight.
Martin's mother watches the whole scene of Louisa and James leaving in the taxi for the airport with sheer delight. She's after something and those two out of the way make her feel a bit powerful. After speaking with Ruth, Martin comes home for a quick discussion with his mother and promptly decides it's time for her to leave. Not seeing her forever isn't long enough.
Al's business pitch to Ruth doesn't go so well, but she senses some good bones about it so she tells him she'll look it over. After making a decision she heads over to the beach party Bert's throwing for the whole town. Thanks to faulty wiring, while spinning the tunes local shock-jock Caroline touches a mic that nearly kills her.
The Doc successfully gets Louisa off the flight (thanks to PC Penhale!) takes her to the closest hospital, and after careful consultation with the attending surgeon, performs the surgery himself. But what now? Words were exchanged before the surgery, but is it enough to save this marriage and family life together?
Will they find the answers they both need to make this work? Can Ruth and Al actually build a successful business together--and will Bert subconsciously sabotage their efforts? Does Bert have his happily ever after with Jenny? And will Clive finally come back to Portwenn for his Sal?
An annoying cough, tearful goodbyes, wicked mothering, "we don't need no stinkin' grounding", Y-M-C-A, and a little DIY-surgery.
They're a hearty bunch those Portwennians, aren't they? Must be the sea air. In any case, we can't wait to see where they'll be in Series 7...
Enjoy Departure...
