As The Mill gears up for its Street Doctor initiative, Zara wakes up alone following yesterday's spat with Daniel over her inability to say 'I love you'. Zara gets a call from her friend Jill. She needs Zara's help: she's meant to be organising her best friend Andrew's wedding but she hasn't booked the reception and it's next week! They dash off to meet Andrew at The Icon where Jill lies through her teeth despite Zara urging her to come clean. Desperate Jill ropes Zara into finding a venue for the reception; Zara agrees - anything to avoid Daniel. Zara can't understand Jill making such a mistake while Jill guesses that Zara's having a fling with Daniel. Jill confesses she's in love with Andrew and Zara urges her to tell him the truth. Shouldn't Zara take her own advice? Zara tells Jill about Daniel's 'I love you' ultimatum - Jill thinks Zara is being ridiculous. Daniel finds them and Jill tells him that Zara loves him, but won't say it, leaving Daniel defeated. As Julia, Cherry and Karen wait for Daniel and Zara at the shopping centre, Jill phones Zara saying she missed her chance with Andrew, and urges Zara not to do the same. As Cherry, Julia, Karen and Daniel gather for a photo they hear a familiar voice on a microphone... it's Zara! Cringeing, Zara tells Daniel that she loves him in front of the entire shopping centre and all their colleagues! Meanwhile, Ed's got his first therapy session today and is surprised to learn that Elaine has been in therapy herself. The chemistry between the two of them is obvious and when Ed returns, saying the therapy has really helped, Elaine tells him he could enjoy a normal life, possibly even a relationship...
