As Frankie approaches her 36th birthday, she guesses that as well as the surprise party he always plans, her boyfriend Ian has a bigger surprise in store for her. Frankie enjoys spending time with her entertaining elderly patient Mr Thomas but his daughter Jean is finding it hard to care for both him and her terminally ill husband. Mr Thomas’ condition is far more serious than either of them had imagined though. Frankie also attempts to help a young mum who has an eight-year-old daughter called Ruby and is heavily pregnant.
