Scott and Syd have been out on the town, but despite all attempts to drown his sorrows and take his mind of Zoe, Scott can't get over his dilemma. Having sobered up he is quick to turf out his conquest from the night before. Meanwhile, at the Vets Surgery, Rhona has called in sick, leaving Zoe worried as she will have to cope on her own. As the surgery is full, Zoe is rushed off her feet when Scott turns up to drive her on her rounds. Under pressure she snaps at him and sends him away. Edna tests Zoe's patience further when she refuses to let Zoe look at Tootsie who is ill, questioning her diagnosis.
