The Practice Around the Corner - Season 06, Episode 05

By Karen

Today's the day: Mrs. Tishell returns to Portwenn. The Doc and Louisa are feeling anxious about her return and do their best not to show it. But Ruth offers to stop by the pharmacy to see if she's feeling well after her time in the psych/detox clinic. It's a good thing. She really seems to need a little minding now that she's back in the hood.

The new roommates, Al and Morwenna, are hot on the case to find new mates. They each set up a blind date, courtesy of CornishCouples.com, only to meet someone they least expected. It definitely changes current circumstances--and living arrangements. Doesn't help that Bert is making his own moves to find some lovin', leaving someone out in the cold.

PC Joe Penhale has decided it's time to up his game, and his career, so he heads out into the 'wilderness' to test his survival skills. Doesn't take long until shots are fired and he's headed home--in the back of a pickup truck and straight to the surgery for immediate care.


Snappy wristbands, medical grade moss, haunting phobias and The Odd Couple. It doesn't take long to find your place within Portwenn... even after rehab...or wilderness training...or blind dates.

Enjoy The Practice Around the Corner...

Nobody Likes Me - Season 06, Episode 04

By Karen

The Doc gets roped in to taking James to the library for story hour. It's to help make James less like the... well, more sociable than certain people. It's a disaster for the Doc, sitting around with moms singing songs and communicating with each other. Possibly his worst nightmare. But hey, it was great for those of us watching.

Meanwhile the new pharmacist is hiding something. We only know this because Bert walks in on her while she's in the bathroom holding a needle. Nothing that a little eye patch won't cover, though. I think maybe they should re-think their pharmacist screening process in Portwenn. But where's the fun in that, right?

Ruth is moving into her new digs in downtown Portwenn with Al's help. While Al contemplates finding himself a lady, Ruth's new neighbor let's her know he's not up for company or being bothered at any time. Until he needs rescuing, of course.


Kitchen table sanitation, CornishCouples.com, Hollywood habits, cataracts for babies and medical tats for young-at-heart ladies. Who needs fancy-pants London? Portwenn's got what you need!

Enjoy Nobody Likes Me...

The Tameness of a Wolf - Season 06 Episode 03

By Karen

Someone's washed ashore at Portwenn and the two fisherman who find him rush him to the surgery. He seems to know the Doc and is asking a lot of questions during his examination about his family who live in the house. The Doc is focused on other things so the inquisition goes right over his head.

The pharmacy is opening back up with a familiar face - familiar to Bert, that is. It appears they know each other intimately from many years ago. So with his new B&B and all, he rolls out the welcome wagon... and a little 'welcome to Portwenn' flirting never hurt anyone. 

It's Aunt Ruth's birthday and to start the day off she continues her work on Radio Portwenn, but she gets a mysterious call while on air. When she heads back to the farmhouse she gets the strange feeling she's not alone. And she's right. Not to worry... Penhale's on the case. Needless to say, it's time to move.

Building blocks that don't belong, libel/slander (take your pick), sexually eclectic stalkers, a steaming hot bath for two and birthday cake for one.

Take some time to understand The Tameness of a Wolf... Enjoy!

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - Season 06 Episode 02

By Karen

Finding someone to watch James Henry is proving to be more complicated than they'd like. Louisa seems to have finally found someone to lend a hand, but it doesn't take long for her to walk. After all, she's working inside the house-surgery... with the Doc... all. day. long. Luckily our new local, Mike, steps in - in all his OCD glory - which doesn't seem to set well with the new Mrs. Ellingham.

While at the school concert, the Doc tries to help with Louisa's schmoozing and invites her colleague to dinner. A colleague responsible for funneling bonus money to school programs. Unfortunately, the Doc is the Doc and the dinner goes to hell via Louisa and the baby monitor.

New roommates, Dr. Ruth on the line, compliments galore, and invisible sliding glass doors. You know...it's all fun and games until someone gets yeast growing in their skin folds. Wash up and get ready... they've got company!

Enjoy Guess Who's Coming to Dinner!

Sickness and Health, Season 06 Episode 01

By Karen

Well, they're back!

And from the title (and photo) you can guess what's up. Doc and Louisa finally get hitched and the town throws a celebration of epic proportions... with many uninvited guests, of course. Things just move downhill quickly from there. What would be a honeymoon without severed arteries and drama, right?

Meanwhile, back at the surgery Aunt Ruth is babysitting James Henry for the night when the electricity goes out and Large, Inc. show up to help. Oh yeah, and PC Penhale. You can see where this is going. Luckily the new guy in town with a background in 'Special Forces,' and just a touch of OCD, shows up and saves the day.

Lady parts, a sober vicar, shotgun weddings, and the new sex-on-a-stick local fella... wherever they take us, we're goin'!

Enjoy Sickness and Health...







P.S. Yes, we realize that the instrument used during genealogical gynecological exams that's like a pipe wrench is actually called a speculum... not forceps. We looked it up. Don't judge.

"Ever After" - Season 05, Episode 08

- by Karen

Mrs. Tishell's husband, Clive, returns. His hearing is still pretty good but now he's got other health issues. And he wants to retire and runaway with Sally to some rather exotic places. In a camper. Not far from Portwenn. She's not ready to give up the business... or the Doc. But none of that matters because thanks to a prescription cocktail -- she's feeling freer than ever. Oh yeah, and delusional.

Everyone at the school is sick, including the cook, so what's the Portwenn school to do?

Call Bert Large, of course! Even though he doesn't follow any of the school's nutrition guidelines, he's happy to lend a hand. Lucky for Bert -- and Al who's come to help his pop -- like American kids, these children would much rather have chips as their lunch anyway. As far as Bert's concerned, it's a win-win.

A young, newly married couple is spending some time in Portwenn on their honeymoon. She's suffering with a serious rash on her chin but they're so in love it doesn't matter the cause. Their affectionate ways make the Doc feel ill, but their passion for each other and a passing comment turns out to be just the thing the Doc needs in the end.

And then the story takes an interesting turn...

Mrs. Tishell offers to help the Doc by watching James Henry. But when the Doc goes to pick him up at the pharmacy, Sally has closed up shop for the day. She split with the baby and is nowhere to be found. Together Doc, Louisa, Aunt Ruth and PC Penhale hunt her down. It's a sensitive situation considering she's having a psychotic episode. Nothing left to do but profess his love to her. Indirectly - but he at least he gets the job done.

Martin finally gets to say what he's been holding back for so long. Louisa finally gets to hear what she's been wanting to hear for so long. And Mrs. Tishell is headed for a little drug rehab.

At the end of Season 5 they're all getting a fresh start.

In our final episode we'll enjoy trying new positions, a secret rendezvous, news clipping shrines, a blinded cop, and lazy babies getting waited on hand and foot. 

Ever After is just getting started... we can only imagine what Season 6 will bring. 
Enjoy!

"Cats and Sharks" - Season 05, Episode 07

- by Karen

Well, Bert's in deep. He borrowed money from the loan shark and owes 1000 quid, plus interest, and he has no way to pay it. Al finds out what's been going on indirectly and wants nothing to do with it. Except when Aunt Ruth hands him an envelope with £800 for some fence work that needs to be done at the farm. He'll have to work it out somehow - either with the sharks... or Aunt Ruth. Bert and Al want to stand up 'like men' to these thugs to avoid paying. But maybe they need some backup in case these men don't like them... you know... acting like men. Enter PC Penhale.

Local philanthropist, Mrs. Dingle, is having some problems with the Portwenn Cat Sanctuary. Like Bert, she's in the red and borrowing money from the local sharks. Her problem however is not so much the money but the fact that she keeps falling down. Because she uses her bicycle to get around, you can see how this is a problem.

Louisa's mother, Eleanor, is subcontracting her babysitting duties with one of the local girls who's wearing an ankle monitor attached by the local police. She has her reasons: she's busy helping Bert try to raise some extra money for the restaurant. Eleanor suggests a Spanish theme night and it's a big hit with the locals. Unfortunately...

...just before the event, Eleanor is feeling under the weather. So much so that her illness actually requires emergency surgery performed by the Doc... with assistance from Morwenna...who's feeling confident and offers to stitch Eleanor back up if the Doc will talk her through it.

The Doc and Louisa are still living apart and he's planning to leave the following week for London leaving Louisa and James in Portwenn. It's clear he's torn, but he's also too stubborn to admit it. And the tension continues to build. There's only one episode left - will he stay or will he go?

But something very peculiar is happening with Mrs. Tishell. She's a bit more bold with the Doc lately and she's not quite herself... 

This week we get to enjoy bumps popping out of everywhere: hives, fleas and hernias; local tapas and cheap sangria; and an increase in testosterone for several male residents - if only for a moment. 

Enjoy Portwenn's game of Cats and Sharks...
