Ray regains his memory. Using the latest in medical technology, he works frantically to save the life of his lover Dr Angie Travers but to no avail.

And, in an award-winning scene of overwhelming tragedy, torment and tears, Ray and Pam are divorced. Meanwhile in London, newly knighted Lord Warren, Earl of Cronkshonk, finds himself trapped between the foxy Princess Di and the braying hounds of the Fleet Street gutter press.
