It's the day after the virus outbreak, and Cherry is still at death's door covered in blotches, the Mill is closed and there are a hoard of reporters camped outside the Campus surgery. Too many doctors and not enough rooms, so Julia gives Zara the day off. She spends it wisely by going to buy shoes, and getting drunk with an old friend she bumps in to. She's unhappily married, but her husband less so - he wants to pick up with Zara (or Alex as they knew her)where they left off years ago. Karen also meets up with an old friend, one who wants to set her up on a blind date. Jack and his sexy blonde tutor Lucy meet up - she tries to apologize, but Jack has better ideas.
