But she doesn't take it very well!

Now that the word is out about receptionist Scarlett's new romance with doctor Suni Bulsara (Rahul Arya), nurse Luca is worried that the flashy GP is not going to treat her right.

However, Luca's well-meaning advice doesn't go down well with Scarlett, who tells him to mind his own business!

Later at the surgery, Luca becomes annoyed when Scarlett and Suni are too busy flirting to notice him.

Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) is nervous about visiting The Mill for the first time since he was attacked outside.

But Al's therapist, Sophia Artino (Barbara D'Alterio), has been encouraging the GP to try and take baby steps back out into the world.

Al calls surgery receptionst Kirsty Millar (Kiruna Stamell) to come and pick him up from home.

Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee), Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh), Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) and Emma Reid (Dido Miles) are all looking forward to welcoming Al back to work.

Outside the Campus Surgery, Nina Bulsara (Wendi Peters) is put in her place by a woman Angela Hayes (Libby Mai), who calls her out for leaving her car engine running and causing unnessary pollution!

Nina moans to Suni and Scarlett about the incident but they both have little sympathy!

Later that day, Nina is in for a surprise when Angela comes looking for an appointment at the drop-in clinic.

Angela keeps bending Nina's ear about climate change and she wonders if that's the cause of Angela's current anxiety.

However, something else is going on with Angela.

And now she is facing a BIG dilemma because of her commitment to tackling the ecological crisis...
