All Saints

A worker from a car parts factory, brought into the ED after an explosion at her workplace, is discovered to have a bizarre but deadly injury that could spell disaster for her as well as the entire Emergency Department. The scenario takes all of Frank and Mike's ingenuity and courage to come up with a solution. And that solution will see Mike putting his life on the line, giving him reason to make a radical decision about his future. A young woman, Morgan, is suffering from severe hypothermia after a camping trip went wrong and the ED team wrestle with balancing the risk of cardiac failure over the risk of brain damage. Bart, however, has his own agenda in play and Charlotte fears he isn't doing himself or the patient any good as a result. Adam's persistence with a "Frequent Flyer" patient puts him at loggerheads with both Frank and Gabrielle. Frank is surprised by a visit from Amy, his niece, who wants her job in the ED back.

New nurse Claire is tested on her first day, full time, in the ED. Gabrielle puts Claire to work with a desperately ill, and very difficult patient. Dan prickles against Claire, seeing her as Erica's replacement. With grief from her patient, and from a colleague, it's a tough start. Bart is annoyed when his patient, Roz, admits that she is faking symptoms. But Roz does have a real problem; her husband. She is deeply concerned about her husband, Ken, and his recent very odd behaviour. Ken refuses to admit to a problem. Roz felt this was the only way to get a Doctor to examine him. Bart and Gabrielle soon realise that Ken's behaviour is erratic and that his wife's concerns are well founded. Bart takes his concerns to Frank, who puts the pieces together, and comes up with an appalling and tragic diagnosis. Adam has finished his stint as a locum, and is crashing on Von's couch, not knowing, or caring, where he will go from here, content for the winds to guide him. Von's patience with his attitude has worn paper thin. Dan obsesses over discovering the identity of an anonymous trauma patient. Dealing with a critical patient that has no identity stirs up Dan's anxieties, but also offers him some hope. After turning up in the ED, Juliet asks Mike to accept her as she is. Jack makes a decision about his future, handing in his resignation.

Jack's ability to function as a doctor is called into question when Frank gives him an ultimatum. After going on a fruitless search for Erica with Bart, Dan is forced to face the possibility that something terrible has happened to his wife. Steve has to apologise to another doctor after he accuses him of medical negligence, unaware that he shares a past with Von. Mike has to face the possibility that Juliet is hiding something from him.

Steve and Gabrielle fight to save the life of a worker who has suffered long-term exposure to chemicals. Elsewhere, Von and Charlotte treat the worker's boss, who is suffering similar but lesser symptoms. Does he know more than he's telling? Then, Jack faces an internal investigation about the death of one of his patients, only to find an even bigger challenge awaiting him when he returns to the ED and has to face his dead patient's widow. Dan is in denial about Erica's disappearance. Mike's relationship with Juliet is going well, but she issues him a subtle challenge — time to step outside his comfort zone.

Jack finds himself caught up in an MVA where a young mother is trapped and the only possible way of saving her is to amputate her legs. Mike forms a bond with a young patient from an MVA whose medical situation turns out to be far more dire than initially expected, and hides a personal secret. Von takes Paula home to commence home-care, but it is Amy who learns something about nursing from the experience. Dan and Erica are forced to part ways as she heads off for a course. Could this be the last time they see each other?

Charlotte and Mike clash over the best way to deal with a patient, who has sustained a head injury in a road accident. As the woman is a single mother Charlotte wants to take no chances and she pushes for early surgery. But Mike believes surgery is unwarranted and adopts a wait and see approach. The situation is complicated by a daughter who seems to have no other family to turn to. Frank is making an effort to throw Amy and Bart together, not knowing just how little professional respect Bart has for his niece. Their patient, Craig suffers from frequent fainting spells, but when Amy takes matters into her own hands, deliberately bringing on another attack in order to prove her point, Bart is forced to confront Frank about her attitude and her shortcomings as a nurse, and Amy is forced to finally realise and regret her limitations as a nurse. Gabrielle and Steve tend to a patient, Terry, who is so afraid of dying of skin cancer like his father, that he's become a recluse. Steve offers some words of wisdom to Terry — that a life lived in fear is a life wasted — and Gabrielle takes heed, suggesting that she and Steve try again. But Steve's reaction is not the one she was hoping for.

Mike bonds with a patient whose life story echoes his own; Von acts as intermediary for a young man whose only hope of life lies with the family he's never met; and Jack tries to get through to a woman who refuses to face reality. When Laszlo, a middle aged man and professional Skydiver, arrives at All Saints after a skydiving accident, the team are expecting the worst. It soon transpires that Mike has a very dim view of skydivers, and the deliberate dangers they submit themselves to. But when Mike discovers Laszlo, like himself, was born to European, post WWII immigrants, is also unmarried and is as single mindedly focused on his profession, he begins to feel a bond to the man. Laszlo believes that he has almost complete control over his destiny, but when things take an alarming turn for the worse medically, he is forced to put his trust in Mike. Meanwhile, Dan and Erica return from their honeymoon to find things tense and awkward between Gabrielle and Jack while Bart seeks to mend fences with Amy, seeing her in a new light as she deals with a difficult patient.

Frank's niece Amy starts work in the ED and makes a mistake which has tragic consequences for a patient. While treating a farmer brought into the ED after a tractor accident, Steve and Mike both go down with a mystery illness forcing Frank to take over an emergency surgery. Elsewhere, Erica looks after a young English woman dying from cystic fibrosis. Erica, Von and Bart try desperately to keep Stella alive long enough for her to be able to give her parents a final goodbye. Dan's pre-wedding night is ruined when he is witness to a tragedy.

Erica's hens night takes a turn for the worse when a pole dancing class goes wrong and the instructor comes off the pole and injures her wrist. But with Charlotte struggling to find her balance between her new 2-IC duties and doctoring the woman, will she miss a far more sinister diagnosis? A teenage boy is brought in with horrendous injuries resulting from the collision between a shopping trolley he was riding in and a car. When his father arrives he is devastated to see his son barely clinging on to life. Erica is witness to the depth of love the father has for his son when the man discovers the accident is now on the internet for all the world to see and takes drastic measures to have it removed. Dan is assigned a patient who has chronic prostatitis and is given food for thought about his own troubles at home.

Charlotte's day in court arrives. Her plan rests squarely on the strength of her character, but while her reputation as a doctor is impeccable, it is her personal life that is called into question once she takes the stand. Will Charlotte's plan backfire? Or will Rhiannon finally gather the courage to tell the truth? Steve attends to a young woman who is suffering burns to her face and neck. It's obvious the pair know each other but neither are forthcoming about how which piques Gabrielle's curiosity and dormant feelings for Steve.

Bart rethinks his friendship with Erica and Dan when Erica's tries to involve him in decisions relating to her wedding.

Von is approached for help in the Hospital car park but when she finds herself in an abandoned tram factory, she has reason to regret her decision. She finds a pregnant woman in labour, a husband who fears the repercussions of their discovery, and a Government worker willing to risk it all to do the right thing — and Von can't walk away. Frank and Bart try to save the life of a woman who believes her husband will never forgive her for involving their son in a car accident.

Bart, Erica and Steve struggle to care for a man suffering from an apparent psychotic break down.

Rhiannon takes it badly and her fears that the truth will be discovered, leading her to a decision that could end Charlotte's career. When Jack, Zoe, Mike and Gabrielle disagree on treatment for what might be the world's longest splinter, Zoe finds herself alienated by Frank for the second time that day when he sides against her.

Charlotte's day has started off badly, Zac's still unwell and she's had to call in Rhiannon for the first time to look after him for the day. Charlotte can feel the weight of the world starting to lift off her shoulders but we're left wondering if all is as it seems. Meanwhile, in the ED, Ashleigh, a mother who is completely exhausted by caring for her young son who has recently been diagnosed with autism, is admitted after a collapse.

His words of advice will resonate with Frank once he realizes the danger his his battle with Admin is putting the ED in.

But she is not at all prepared for the conversation that ensues... will she end up as Oliver's new spy against Frank? Bart realises the toll Ann-Maree's return to hospital has taken — she's exhausted, depressed and resentful of the emotional blackmail that put her back in a ward room. Has he made an error in pushing her into this? By day's end, he'll know the answer — and will be struggling with a new question when she tells him she needs him to do one last, and very final, thing for her.
