Recap

Megan, convalescing at home, is woken early by the police holding a siege next door. Her neighbour, John, dying of cancer, has locked himself in his shed and says he has a child hostage - he asks for the press. Megan talks him into coming out (there is no child), as he comes out, he collapses, and they take him to hospital. He tells Megan, his cancer was caused by an atom bomb test that he took part in after the war, and their children also suffer eye damage. He urges her to take his proof letters, and report it to the press. He asks for his wife, who he's separated from, and his daughter, to visit him - but he dies before they arrive. Baz tells them the bad news.
Baz gives herself a pregnancy test and avoids a suspicious Charlie, who can see she is very upset. The rest of the staff realise Charlie and Baz have been having an affair, and all gossip. Kuba also tells Charlie about his non-existent love life. Clive tells Charlie off for leaving the keys by the drugs cupboard. ..
