Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) still intends to file an official complaint after his mum Makeda (Angela Wynter) and he both experienced racism at St Phil's Hospital.

Unfortunately, one of the culprits is hospital consultant 'Prof' Phillip Whybrow (Graham Hoadly) who is now in charge of Makeda's big operation.

Afraid of being left in Mr Whybrow's hands after Bear makes his complaint, Makeda continues to try and convince Bear to drop his complaint against St Phil's.

Makeda accuses Bear of putting his feelings before hers.

Surgery receptionist Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) is still holding a grudge against most of her co-workers for not taking her recent BIG announcement seriously.

Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) tries in vain to get Valerie to forgive them, while Emma Reid (Dido Miles) and Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) reckon Daniel Granger (Matthew Chambers) should step in to ease the situation.

Will Valerie confide in Daniel about why she is so hurt?

Doctors continues every Monday to Thursday at 1:45pm on BBC One.
