Tom comes to the Hudson farm looking for a missing cat. Bernice teases him about it ("Boom Boom" Bamford, the cat's owner apparently being rather notorious) and points out the cat on her roof. He tries to climb after it but falls when the guttering falls off, scaring the cat off the roof. He tries to corner it in the barn but Bernice is distracted and they catch a rooster instead. The cat has taken a fancy to Tom and is found sitting at his feet. Mitch convinces Kate to remove Hedley's IV without consulting one of the docs and they're not happy. Mitch has been spiking her bottled drinking water with alcohol. Kate finds her coffee cup in the staff lounge and thinks it's one of the other nurses. Harry finds out that Hugo has told Cheri that he lives at Camelot. When Cheri turns up unexpectedly at the club, Hugo is forced to tell Harry that he also told her Harry was his brother and Terence was his father (among other lies). He enlists Harry's aid in getting Terence to play along for a little while. When Bernice finds out that Rosemary isn't back, she decides to go over to Camelot to comfort Terence.

Mitch offers to work Kate's night shift to make up for causing trouble between Kate and Harry. Terence tries to avoid Bernice (and various kissing couples) at Camelot. No one can quite place Cheri's accent and it's obvious she's hiding something. Kate is called back to the hospital. Hugo tries to dip her while they are dancing and her back goes out. The docs give her Valium and while she's still a little dopey she completely loses her French accent, revealing a decidedly Australian one. Her French accent comes back in time for her to talk to Hugo but too late to hide it from Harry, Terence, and Bernice. Kate arrives at the hospital to find Mitch stinking drunk. Anna has a prowler and calls Tom in. Some of her underwear is missing from the wash line. Kate is keeping Mitch's drinking a secret.

Colin Hardy falls off a ladder, striking his head, and Mitch gives him some painkillers for the headache and sends him home (without consulting a doctor). He is later found unconscious in his shop. Hugo talks to Cheri about getting a flat together but she wants to stay at Camelot. Bernice tries to tell him about Cheri but can't. She talks to Cheri instead and Cheri (aka Cheryl) spills the whole story of her poor upbringing. She admits she really does love Hugo. Anna is on the phone with Tom when she sees a man outside her window. She goes outside with a baseball bat but it apparently just a man with an overheated car who wants to borrow a rag. It isn't until Tom gets there that they realize the car was a Porche and Porches don't overheat -- it was the prowler.

Kate confront Mitch about the vodka in her desk and won't let her assist in the operation to find the cause of Mr. Hardy's brain hemorrage. Mitch goes back to her hotel room and gets drunk. Kate tries to talk to her but to no avail. She leaves and tells Terence about the whole situation. Terence is concerned about Mitch's state of mind and they get to her room to find her semiconscious. They take her to the hospital. Cheri finally admits all to Hugo and Hugo tells her the truth about him. In spite of her feelings for him, she won't accept poverty again and dumps him. Anna and Darcy return to the house to find the prowler inside. They surprise him and knock him out. They call Tom in after tying the man up. Tom is angry over the risk they took.
