Dr. Finlay receives an offer of an appointment at a London clinic, initially for a one month trial period, and as things are a little strained at Arden House Cameron considers it best for everyone that he accepts. But no-one foresees that at a party Finlay will meet an old 'friend'.

As the days go by at his new post in a London clinic things run pretty smoothly until Finlay disagrees with Dr. Maddock over the treatment of a patient who seems to be in a state of physical and mental decay.

Dr. Finlay has received an offer to become medical superintendent of a fashionable London nursing home. At first Dr. Cameron and Janet are not unduly worried, but when they learn that Barbara Pritchard has taken the first steps towards a divorce they realise that this could be the end.
