Daniel Granger (played by Matthew Chambers) and his partner, Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) are not in agreement about his teenage daughter, Izzie (Bethan Moore) living with them permanently on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

After helping Izzie to clear the air with family friend, Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) earlier in the week, Daniel is dismayed when Izzie stirs-up more trouble at home.

But WHAT does Izzie do this time?
