Jac must fight for control of the hospital when a returning patient wreaks havoc. Reeling from Skylar's tragedy, the F1s try to cover their tracks when a flirtatious patient makes a serious accusation. Grieving Sacha is scared of letting go of his daughter while a desperate Jodie is on the loose, and his usual arsenal of lies, delays and deceptions may not be enough to keep Beka safe.

Sacha gets the shock of his life when Jodie appears back on the scene. On her first day on Darwin, Jac's replacement, Sahira Shah, doesn't take kindly to Kian. And a bubbly new nurse, Kylie, arrives in acute admissions, but will she survive her first day?
