Portwenn is buzzing with arrangements for the wedding of Doc Martin and Louisa. Will they finally tie the knot, or will the villagers have to put the confetti back in the box again?

Doc Martin’s plans to resume his career as a consultant in London are put on hold following the birth of the birth of the baby he fathered with his now estranged partner, Louisa Glasson. He also has serious concerns about his replacement, Dr. Diana Dibbs, after the new GP misdiagnoses a patient and takes a careless approach to prescribing medications. But family drama and professional uncertainty are overshadowed by a tragic and unexpected death.

Portwenn is buzzing with excitement over a charity run, but the fundraiser sparks a culinary rivalry between Bert Large’s restaurant and the Crab and Lobster pub. Louisa's annoyance over her mother Eleanor's unannounced visit soon turns to relief, as she seems to have a knack for getting the baby to sleep soundly. But things take a turn when Louisa and Martin learn more about her unorthodox methods of childcare.

Martin and Louisa are woken up by two fisherman after the discovery of a collapsed mystery man. Unfortunately Martin faces scrutiny after he helps the stranger. Meanwhile, Louisa has a hard time trusting James’ new sitter and finds herself sneaking around to check up on the man.

Mrs Tishell returns to the village. Martin has to work out what is wrong with beach comber Lorna. Al and Morwenna have an internet dating disaster, and romance is blossoming for Bert and Jennifer.
