Jessica faces every mother's worst nightmare when her son, Lucas, is hit by a car, as the medical drama continues. Jessica's agony is compounded because she ignored the call from her childminder as she was in bed with Adam.
A guilty Jessica arrives at the hospital to find that Lucas may lose a foot unless the team acts quickly. Sean insists on doing the foot realignment but the pressure of working on his son proves too much. In an awkward and emotional scene, Sean and Jessica come together at their son's bedside while Zoe and Adam battle to save Lucas's foot.
Joseph, a religious man, refuses to accept responsibility for Lucas's accident, claiming that it was the result of divine intervention. Confronted by an enraged Jessica, Joseph tells her that the accident must have been payback for her sins. Stunned, she returns to her son's bedside only to find him suffering a fit from a previously unnoticed head injury.
Meanwhile, Snezana is revealed to be the mystery medicine thief when Jeff catches her red-handed. But he can't bring himself to report her when he finds out it was for a good cause. Charlie determines to clear Maggie's name, but when Marilyn finds out that he broke into her computer, she threatens him with suspension.
Taking a turn for the worse, Lucas loses consciousness and a devastated Jessica takes her woes to God. If he will only make Lucas better, she promises to give up Adam. For good.
Jessica is played by Gillian Kearney, Adam by Tristan Gemmill, Sean by Richard Dillane, Zoe by Sunetra Sarker, Joseph by Eoin McCarthy, Snezana by Ivana Basic, Jeff by Matt Burdock, Charlie by Derek Thompson, Maggie by Susan Cookson and Marilyn by Caroline Langrishe.

When the world's most-famous bus, the Routemaster, made its final journey through the streets of London on 9 December 2005, it also signalled the end for those great characters, the bus conductors.
In a programme richly illustrated with period music and archive, BBC Four and the flagship arts series Arena celebrate these soon-to-be-extinct characters through the stories of five conductors from five decades of London's history from 1959 to 2005.
The five have presided over thousands of journeys between them, not just as conductors but also as entertainers, counsellors and lovers. They have observed every walk of London life, from Salman Rushdie reading his own novels on the number 38 to a Piccadilly prostitute plying her trade from the top deck.
Arena – Little Platform, Big Stage is the first part of an Arena London Transport Trilogy for BBC Four. Arena – Cab Driver will be shown on 26 July and Arena – Underground on 2 August.
