Moments earlier, a hooded figure was seen lurking around the back of the house...

So Zara teams-up with business manager, Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) to investigate the break-in.

Armed with an umbrella, Zara is ready to pounce!

But WHO is the mystery intruder?

After her therapy session, Ruhma Carter (Bharti Patel) is thinking about her non-existent love life.

The midwife wants a relationship... but it's a minefield out there!

Surgery receptionist Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) reckons Ruhma should give some dating apps a try.

Ruhma is reluctant at first.

But when she sees how excited Valerie is at playing Cupid, she agrees to give them a go.

Ruhma gets some encouragement from Emma Reid (Dido Miles) too.

But when Ruhma makes a carefree comment about Emma having the option of TWICE as many people to date, will Emma take offence?

Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) is called out to a remote farm after the owner, Mal Wakefield (James Vaughan) is injured by a piece of fallen machinery.

Mal's wife, Nicola (Peta Cornish, from ITV's romantic drama William and Mary) keeps an anxious vigil beside him.

Sid is concerned about Nicola, who is clearly malnourished and has some big cuts on her hands.

While Sid is indoors, bandaging Nicola's hands, he hears the floor creak upstairs.

Nicola claims it's just her and Mal living at the farm.

But could it be that someone else is hiding out in the house?
