Shula makes a shocking discovery. Meanwhile Ed has a plan.

Jill's reluctant to have a lift with Ruth, admitting to Shula it's because Ruth keeps pestering her about making a doctor's appointment to discuss her cataracts. Shula worries about Darrell. Until social services have found him somewhere and he's settled, she can't relax.

Ruth and David spot Jill having a lift with Jim. Ruth jokingly confronts Jill, who says she didn't want to impose. Ruth and David look forward to their anniversary holiday.

Ed and Emma notice that Jess has been selective with her party invites (they aren't included). Emma tells Ed that George was rude to Santa at Underwoods. He doesn't want a present, just Baz back. Ed suggests getting George another puppy to replace Baz. Emma's not sure. But she'll give it some thought. Ed tries one of Susan's ginger scones but is horrified at the taste.

Shula tries to persuade Rosa to visit Darrell. He's not a bad man, just a damaged one. Rosa isn't sure but eventually turns up at the hospital, where Shula discovers that Darrell has discharged himself. Angry Rosa tells Shula it's not her fault. Darrell's always let her down. He's not worth it. She's going to get on with her life, and that's what Shula should do too.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
