It's a few days after Elsa snatched Alice and the pair still haven't been found. Elsa sits in a B&B with Alice, making plans to join Michael in Spain. Nick wonders whether things would have worked out differently if he'd moved away from the village with Elsa three years ago. Caroline tries to make him see that Alice wouldn't have benefited living in an environment where her parents resented each other. Viv and Vic decide to get divorced and remarry in order to obtain the £30,000 left in Reg's will. Caroline confides in Eric that Nick is still frantic over Alice. Bernard and Angharad become concerned when Betty cleans the surgery during opening hours, interfering with patients and providing advice on country remedies to Kim against Bernard's prescriptions for a summer bug she has picked up.
