Jimmi and Cherry's breakfast is interrupted by a solemn Daniel who'd come to pick up some stuff and ended up staying the night. Jimmi detects something is wrong but Daniel brushes it off. Meanwhile, Heston receives a relaxing back massage from Elaine and insists on buying her lunch to say thank you. At The Icon, they find Jimmi and Cherry planning their holiday, and they all agree that things are very tense between Zara and Daniel. Back at The Mill, Heston tries to talk to Daniel while Cherry tries to talk to Zara; neither get anywhere. At the end of surgery, Daniel and Zara are the last in the building. Zara finds Daniel trying to find a painkiller in her office - an awkward stand-off ensues but with neither willing to give in they leave separately. Meanwhile, still contemplating Joe's job offer, Ruth has to deal with a challenging patient. Click here to watch whatsontv.co.uk's weekly soaps video preview, the Soap Scoop
