The department was under investigation for their handling of the bombing. A whistleblower was at large after reports hit the papers about the place being a total shambles. Marilyn made it clear to Nathan that she was looking for answers. Guppy didn't turn up for work, leaving rumours that he was the whistleblower. Infact, he had fled to London to see Harry. Giving Harry an ultimatum, he said he'd resume his career if Harry returned with him. The Director of Nursing arrived to conduct her investigation. Nathan made it clear who he felt was to blame - Charlie. Tess was stunned to discover his disloyalty, and fought to clear Charlie's name. Determined not to give in to Guppy's demands, Harry told him to stand on his own two feet for once. Frustrated, Guppy left. But his words did affect Harry, more than he was willing to let on. Alice uncovered the truth behind the whislteblower - it was Adam. He was forced to own up to Tess. She decided not to take things further - so long as he assured her nothing of the sort would ever happen again. Josh returned home to discover Maggie had surprise visitors for him - Devika and Sajani, his friends from Pakistan. Meanwhile, Nathan was called into Marilyn's office and was stunned when she asked for his resignation. Bbc.co.uk So I guess freeboards is just not working until we move.. Nice. Right. I expected more from this episode. Guppy in London was great, but I wanted to see more. I wanted more Happy moments, and we got them, but not much. I liked seeing Harry again, that was nice And I'm not too keen on that mustache Guppy's growing again.. TC, What's with that guy? He's weird. I loved how Kelsey got all smug when she was told to get him some clothes, I just knew she was up to no good. Go Alice! She's getting so much more confident now, I love her! Nathan was mean. He had no right in telling that woman about Charlie. Idiot. Luckily she saw through him. But man, that guy has had a month from hell. Josh! That was sweet when he came home and saw Devika. I don't want him to go though.. But still, it was sweet ;D But we all know what this means... Four out of five have passed... Rating: I'm not too sure on this one, but I'm saying 7/10.

You couldn't have asked for more with the Harry and Guppy scenes, especalliy the last bit when Harry finds out Angel died (how did Guppy know, Charlie announced after he walked out) there was so much emotion going on between those two it was perfect, supurbe acting from both.
Tess rocks 'If you want to sack someone, sack me!' excellent, Nathan's such a git and only looks out for himself - all the others there look out for each other, ie Alice defending Guppy, and Tess letting Adam off
9.5/10 for the Harry Guppy scenes
7/10 for the rest

Yes i was also dissapointed with this episode. I was expecting alot more Guppyness than what we actually got. As you said June i liked the fact that it was in London, but the scenes of them were so short and then we had to wait like another 15 minutes for the next scene! You know Guppy only has on eeppy left so they could have given him more screen time. But what we saw was nice, and he was looking as nice as ever. I dunno i think the stubbly goaty thing is growing on me! I found the episode all abit slow, with not much happening. There wasn't really an interesting storyline apart from Guppy/ Harry. I mean yeah we had the whole Charlie/Tess/Nathan questioning, and i thought it was out of order to say that Charlie was to blame but that was about it. Its actually a shame that Nathans leaving, as i've only really started to like him now. I quite like the new receptionist but yeah he is abit weird. Looks like we'll get a few laughs out of him though. Am loving Alice! Cant wait to see what they do with her this series. And you can definitly see somethings going to happen with Alice and Adam (i think) if you just look at the closeness on screen, somethings bound to happen. I loved how she stood up for Guppy, saying that hes a good man etc, i was like "Yep your right there!" Am also loving Adam, he reminds me abit of Dan Clifford from Holby. But yeah really like. Still cant stand Ruth, and still really like Toby- just needs more lines and screen time. It was good that Josh had more screen time, and the thing with Devika was sweet. I really liked how they brought Maggies dad back into the equation, we havnt seen him since, what S20? So i like how there bringing that back, and it related with patient storyline. Ah! I cant believe this time next week, i'll be mourning! One eppy to go. I also rate the eppy: 7/10

True, the acting on Simon and Elyes's behalf was great. Obviously. I loved the parts that were there, like how things used to be, only a little more messed up now. Ruth annoyed me. She didn't even let Toby say anything, and I think he was right. They would've done better if they'd gotten that man to an hospice, instead of leaving him in the hallway

Oh yes! Definitly the acting between Harry and Elyes was brilliant, its just a shame we didnt get to see more of it. Yeah just like it used to be, tell you what i would like though, a nice smile back on Guppy's face. We havnt seen that in a while, unfortunatly.
Ruth bugs me soo much! And people actually like her over at htv! There mad!

You couldn't have asked for more with the Harry and Guppy scenes, especalliy the last bit when Harry finds out Angel died (how did Guppy know, Charlie announced after he walked out) there was so much emotion going on between those two it was perfect, supurbe acting from both. Spot on, those scenes were absolutely brilliant! But it was so sad when Harry was looking at that photo of Selena, made me cry!! Hmm, I've been trying to think of what to say about this ep, a lot of it went over my head a bit last night, and it's still a bit, well, strange after having watched it this morning again... I agree with what's been said about the ep, I was a bit disappointed too. Ok, there was less Guppyness than I expected, but the patient storylines didn't keep me gripped, I don't know what it was, cos they were very sad It was all very strange... Great to have Jeff back, I love how him and Dixie just like constantly bicker with each other! Some brilliant lines from them tonight too! Alice is a star, the way she was standing up for Guppy, and how she spoke to Adam! ;D Not too sure about Adam at the moment, he reminds me too much of Stitch (but now that you've mentioned it Elizabeth, I can see how he's similar to Dan Clifford too, in more than one way...) which scares me a bit... And I'm still not liking Ruth at all... Kelsey rocks!! Her "They wear green and drive the vroom vroom with the sirens and the lights" line made me howl with laughter! I'm not too sure about TC yet, but I think those two are going to be very funny together! So, yeah, I think that's it this week... I want to give it more than the 7/10 I think it deserves, because of the Guppy and Harry scenes, but the rest of it just wasn't that great...

So sweet that Harry had a pic of Selena. It really was true love!
Dixie and Jeff together is like a comedy sketch.
Hmm..i can see what you mean about Adam's like Stitch, but i still really like him.
Haha! The Kelsey line was great. Classic Kelsey.
It really was a gruelling wait for the next scene between Harry and Guppy, thats all i really enjoyed, we only got a short scene every 10/15 minutes!

I know what you mean by the gruelling wait!! I think that's why so much of the ep went over my head a bit... I can't say I like Adam much yet, I think it's going to take some time for me to warm to him.

Yeah i didnt really care about the rest of the ep, i just wanted and was waiting for more Harry and Guppyness!
I dont really know why i like that much, i just think he seems like a decent guy. and a good doctor, and he quite good looking, and i do like Dan Clifford in Holby so...
Argh...someone over at htv called Guppy a tramp!? Whats that about?
