situation escalated into a fight in Reception. Karen was suspended by
Dr. Heston Carter but returned the following week. The next day, after
Jack told her that he saw Zara 'shooting up'. Karen went round to
Zara's house and after an argument found out Zara was injecting
herself with testosterone to combat her early onset menopause.However,
as he covered his tracks very easily, he was able to conceal what was
happening, leading each of the characters to believe they were
imagining the situation. When Ellie confided in Sia that Lewis had
attempted to attack her in the Hollins' kitchen with a carving knife,
she informed Karen's colleague, Dr. Simon Bond (David Sturzaker), and
later went round to the Hollins' house to inform Lewis that she would
be telling the police about his actions. However, Lewis denied his
attack, and as there was no evidence and Ellie would not talk to the
police, nothing could be done. However, she did not act on this.
Meanwhile, Rob Hollins informed his son that the police would be
keeping an eye on Lewis, as his name had been mentioned too many times
for them to be comfortable. The storyline culminated when Imogen then
realised that her art project, containing photos of each of the
victims of gun crime in the last year was tampered with, with the
addition of photos of Jack, Sia and Ellie. She told her mum, who came
home and then attempted to contact Jack and her husband.
