Daniel tries to talk to Lisa about going back to work but she doesn't think she's ready. But he's relieved to escape to The Mill, where he has an awkward moment with Zara, when they both pretend they're OK. Lisa calls Daniel numerous times throughout the day convinced someone is following her and Izzie, so he has to leave work to deal with her. Lisa is distraught and Daniel tries to make her realise she needs to stop seeing everyone as a potential threat. Just as Lisa is calming down, the doorbell goes. Daniel thunders to the door and to his delight and utter relief he sees his Uncle Joe. Meanwhile, Cherry struggles with a moral dilemma when she deals with a teenager displaying worrying symptoms.
