Charlie, Otto and Jean go to Soho to perform an abortion on young Megan Grieve but complications arise, requiring an admission to hospital, where Jean encounters Angela - who keeps quiet about her sister's involvement. The police are brought in and, whilst Otto successfully fobs them off, Charlie is anxious that they will be found out and, distracted, blames himself when a patient dies. Richard resumes his affair with Margaret, lying to Jean that he has been working late but she notices the lipstick on his shirt. Jean visits Angela at the house, where she is hiding Maureen Mulligan, confiding in her her fear about her husband's infidelity. Later she confronts him but he is customarily bland in his reply. Mulligan continues to hound Elizabeth Powell, putting pressure on her for sex in return for keeping silent about the death of a young boy in Cyprus for which he holds Otto responsible.
