Mr Woods and Dr Ormerod visit Dee Wilson, an attractive female patient in her thirties. Woods reveals that Dee’s results are inconclusive, but the fact that she has given up smoking may have exacerbated her ulcerative colitis. Woods informs Dee that she will need to have an operation to remove a section of the colon. However, Dee is adamant that she won’t be having any surgery. Mr Woods believes Dee is against surgery due to vanity reasons, but she assures him it’s purely business.
Continuing the argument, Dee stresses the point that any surgery would impact on her career as a lap dancer. Not used to being challenged, Woods hands the matter over to Ormerod who admits to Dee that there is a non-surgical way, which might work. Determined not to have surgery, Dee is keen to hear Ormerod’s ideas.
Elsewhere, Heather watches a gloomy Norman stir his tea and guesses his ex-girlfriend Maisy is on his mind. Heather reassures Norman that you can’t always plan how your love life will turn out. As Adam walks into the room, Heather loudly tells Norman it’s best not to have high expectations, that way you won’t be let down. Are Norman and Heather destined to be unlucky in love?

Kieran and Kristaps escort Frankie into casualty. Frankie is painfully thin and, on examination, Dr Ormerod believes she is severely dehydrated and orders fluids to be administered. Ormerod notices that her father, Alan, also looks unwell.
Frankie is confused and delusional as Ormerod fixes a saline drip. Alan confesses that he is aware Frankie is anorexic and that they have been getting counselling for the past seven years. As Alan strokes Frankie’s hair, it’s obvious to Ormerod that Alan is exhausted after years of guilt and sadness over Frankie’s condition. Alan later collapses outside the hospital but can Ormerod help father and daughter regain their health and happiness?

Pamela makes her way to visit her patient, local hero and darts champion Eddie Trotter, only to draw back the curtains and find his bed empty. Looking around, she notices the rest of the ward extremely quiet. When Carrie appears on the ward and a loud cheer goes out from elsewhere in the hospital, Pamela is sure that she knows where her patient is.
Heading out of the ward, Pamela finds the staff and patients gathered round in the kitchen as Eddie gives Sarah a darts lesson. Pamela is far from impressed to find Sarah with her patient, who should be resting after his haemorrhoidectomy. As Pamela ushers Eddie back to his bed, Norman looks on wistfully as he knows Eddie has a far worse condition than haemorrhoids, he’s suffering from Dartitis - a condition which will affect his performance as a darts player.
Kristaps comments that not many players come back from Dartitis, much to the surprise of everyone else that he’s aware of the condition. As the group break up, Norman ponders on how they can help Eddie. Oblivious to the seriousness of his problems, Eddie’s wife Brenda arrives on the ward to show him her new outfit for the Darts Tournament. It’s clear to the staff that Brenda is Eddie’s biggest fan and supports him all the way, whether he wants her to or not. Can the staff find the cause of the Dartitis and bring Eddie out from the psychological impediment that’s holding him back?

At the nurse’s station, Vijay sidles up to Heather and asks her out for a drink. Shocked by his advances, Heather asks him what he’s doing. Unable to take any more of his chat-up lines, she sends him on his way, dismayed. Heather approaches Pearl who tells her that she can’t blame Vijay for trying now she’s free and single. Is Vijay just trying his luck or is there something more to his suggestion?
Meanwhile, the boisterous stags are still creating a racket in casualty with Kevin’s friend Gavin hitting on Sarah as she arrives to examine Hayley.
