Back at The Mill, surgery bosses Daniel Granger (Matthew Chambers) and Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) are feeling the heat over the hiring of racist nurse, Cathy Jenkins (Laura Bayston).

How can she still be working at the surgery after the way she behaved towards Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) and his mum, Makeda, last year at St Phil's Hospital?

Daniel and Zara argue that the practice is still a nurse down, since Luca McIntyre quit to go travelling.

They needed someone urgently.

But now Cathy feels she is being bullied in the workplace.

As Daniel and Zara try to keep the peace between Cathy and other members of staff, will Cathy file an official complaint about her hostile working conditions?
