Disaster will strike when Susan offers to look after Alzheimer's sufferer Doug
and their car breaks down when they head out shopping.
After
it becomes clear that Doug has mistakenly added water to the oil
instead of topping up the radiator as he was meant to, the pair are then
forced to walk back home amid a severe heatwave.
Unfortunately,
their decision proves to have life-threatening consequences when
an exhausted Susan collapses in the middle of the road.
With Susan non-responsive, it's left to Doug to
seek help urgently. However, when he eventually reaches his
granddaughter Imogen, his memory fails him and he neglects to mention
Susan's collapse.
By the time Susan's situation is realised, she is suffering from heatstroke
and severe dehydration
and is rushed straight to hospital. Her worried
husband Karl quickly guesses that she's been suffering from MS symptoms
and keeping them from him, but will Susan be alright?
