The Chase - Series 2 (2007)

The staff are stunned by the death of a loved colleague. Anna contemplates life as a single mother while Sarah must give an answer to Adrian's proposal. The sisters are infuriated by the arrival of Claudie's sister Paula, and the contents of her beauty salon. There are other new arrivals in Oxley as both Fiona's father and Montgomery's younger brother appear to have an interest in the Williams family. But nothing can prepare them for the final revelation of the day, as the police come knocking at the door.

As the investigation into George's murder begins, Anna and Sarah are distracted by the possibility of losing everything to their stepmother. The atmosphere at The Chase becomes strained, and police, poodles and pamper packs culminate in a shock resignation. With morale at an all-time low, the staff look forward to attending the Montgomery Estate ball, where Anna finds an unlikely prince charming.

It's the morning after the ball and Anna is nowhere to be found. Wondering where she is, Tom takes matters into his own hands. Just as it seems they might be reconciled, Fiona strikes again. Sparks fly, and Anna's response to Tom's infidelity is finally made clear. The practice is in chaos with Margaret on reception and Paula's clients taking over, plus Claudie's brother Liam and his dog Stan. Anna finds comfort from a surprising source.

Deborah is back at work and enforcing a tough new regime. Faced with pedometers and mission statements, Clare and Rick are feeling the strain. Matt saves the day for Anna as he covertly stops Claudie making more changes to the house.

The Chase is bursting with new life as an emergency caesarean brings forth a yapping litter of Labrador pups. A life or death situation leaves Sarah's future hanging in the balance. Adrian, Anna and Sebastian try to put the pieces back together, but with emotions running high, are the right people left keeping the right secrets?
