Following a heated exchange, it emerges that the disgruntled patriarch has hired a private detective to investigate the couple – but the situation only serves to bring them closer together, culminating in a marriage proposal. At the Royal, a painfully thin girl causes concern for Goodwin – whose green-eyed monster emerges when student nurse Samantha Beaumont agrees to a date with a younger man – and the hospital is evacuated after a suicide victim’s corpse is brought in emitting toxic fumes.
