At the PPG meeting, business manager Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) is expecting the worst.

Surgery receptionist Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) has already warned Bear that Miranda is a terrible manager and an absolute bully!

Things don't get off to a good start when Bear tells an attractive older woman that he has heard the new head of the PPG is a real battle-axe.

Bear quickly discovers that he is talking to THE Miranda Evans.

Whoops!

Back at the surgery, Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) is still trying to come-up with ideas for the charity fundraiser he has agreed to.

Leave it to Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) to think of an unexpected fundraising activity.
