'Tis the season to put old grievances to rest.
Portwenn is a flurry with festive cheer. Naturally the Doc sits in the centre of this merriment as it swirls over and around him but not quite through him. At least not yet, and understandably so.
Needless to say his wife Louisa gives him a look as if to say 'Sprinkle on a little more cheer, won't you please?' As the story unfolds James and Martin's father-son relationship comes under more strain when the Doc struggles to relate with his son's innocent enthusiasm for the season. Despite their contentious relationship, it is Margaret who Martin hallucinates when he crashes his car in the snow and develops hypothermia on his way to treating Leonard at his home.
While stuck with his mother he deduces that he has an hour to live before the symptoms of hypothermia become fatal."Oh Martin, what makes you think I'm here to help," is her startlingly frank reply, which highlights the depth of the toxicity between them. Margaret continues to goad him, telling him that he is no better parent to James than she was to him, declaring:"He's already begun to resent you. It's a disease that spreads. One that I doubt even you know how to cure.""How old were you when you realised we didn't love you?" before proceeding to detail the story of his Yuletide abandonment, claiming that she and his father were just desperate to get away from him – that they were happy before they had him.
