The show begins with a man getting shot while stealing eggs. While this is very bad, Penhale is thrilled because it's his first really serious case. But the man who was shot is very odd and evasive...and also has an illness in addition to his wound. Another case this episode is a very annoying young lady (one of the ones who often makes fun of Doc) is even more annoying because she keeps failing to follow doctors orders AND she overreacts to nearly everything. A couple minor plots are the selling of the pub as well as Louisa's new friend having an severe allergic reaction reaction that could be life threatening.
The cases this week seem more interesting than usual. And, after all these seasons, the show still manages to entertain and kept my interest. Well worth seeing.
