Sam returns to Emmerdale Farm and lays it on about his chest with Annie, informing her also of the new doctor. He insists on sleeping on the sofa again. Dr. Grant shows Dr. Scott his spy-proof code on patient files, implemented as a way of finding out details of certain patients without actually writing anything.
