Doc Martin is a British medical drama television series that aired in 2004 on ITV. The show is about a brilliant but socially awkward surgeon, Dr. Martin Ellingham, who moves to the fictional seaside village of Portwenn in Cornwall to work as a general practitioner. The show follows his struggles to adjust to small-town living and his difficult relationships with the villagers.

Season 4 episode 2, "Uneasy Lies the Head," begins with Martin conducting a home visit to an elderly woman, Mrs. Wilson, who has a sore knee. The visit takes a dangerous turn as Martin discovers that Mrs. Wilson is suffering from a dangerous infection that could potentially lead to sepsis. Martin immediately calls for an ambulance to take Mrs. Wilson to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Louisa Glasson, Martin's love interest and former school teacher, is struggling to manage the new students at the school. One of the students, Toby, is causing trouble in the classroom, leading his parents to seek out Louisa's help. Louisa discovers that Toby is being bullied by his schoolmates but finds it difficult to resolve the situation.

Back in the village, Bert Large, the local businessman, is worried about his restaurant's poor reviews. Martin advises him to add new items to the menu and clean up the kitchen, but Bert is reluctant to take his advice. Later, a food critic visits the restaurant, and Bert becomes anxious about whether his efforts will pay off.

As the day progresses, Martin is called to Mrs. Wilson's bedside in the hospital when her condition worsens. Martin's expertise as a surgeon is required to save her life, and he must operate on her immediately. The operation is successful, but Martin becomes preoccupied with Toby's case when he discovers that the boy has been seriously injured.

Toby's injuries prompt Martin to investigate the bullying situation at the school. He confronts the school's headmaster and insists that he take action against the bullies. Louisa is grateful for Martin's help and admits her feelings for him, but Martin's awkwardness makes it difficult for her to get close to him.

The episode concludes with Martin visiting Mrs. Wilson in the hospital and discovering that she has no family or friends to care for her. Martin finds himself becoming emotionally invested in her care and decides to take her in temporarily until she recovers.

Overall, "Uneasy Lies the Head" highlights the various issues that the residents of Portwenn face and how Martin's expertise as a doctor has an impact on their lives. The episode showcases Martin's growth as a character as he becomes more involved in the community, but his social awkwardness continues to be a barrier to his relationships.
