Louisa faints in front of her class, Aunt Joan nearly runs someone over with her car, and Portwenn’s new policeman is falling asleep on the job.
Taking Doc Martin’s advice to "make some life changes," Bert Large abandons plumbing and opens a restaurant. Soon Portwenn is plagued by an outbreak of food poisoning.
A family of city slickers moves in next to Louisa, bringing modern ideas about parenting and their bratty son. Doc Martin learns that the constable is agoraphobic as well as narcoleptic.
Martin and Louisa go on their first proper date. When he ruins a kiss with a tactless remark, it’s the last straw for Louisa.
Romance is in the salty air of Portwenn: Doc Martin is pursued by a glamorous divorcée. Aunt Joan is wooed by a handsome artist 30 years her junior.
