Meanwhile, Ed also worries when the family's car breaks down, making life more difficult for Aggie and her commute to work.
Mechanic Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) offers some help and agrees that Aggie can borrow Kevin Webster's car in the meantime, as the community is hugely grateful for her work at the hospital.
Later, Aggie makes a video call to Ed and explains that she'll have to self-isolate at a hotel for a while, as one of her colleagues is displaying COVID-19 symptoms.
