Second Chance

Synopsis

With the department at full stretch treating casualties from a major fire and a car accident victim with cerebral palsy, the F2s bicker through their shift as they anxiously await the fallout from their treatment of Amir. Adam warns them that they must continue to work as part of a team but Ruth in particular is reluctant to work with them, and the young medics are uneasy. Could this be the end of their short careers as doctors?

Keen to impress neurological expert Dr Sarah Evans, Ruth refuses to ask for advice about the cerebral palsy patient, preferring to struggle on alone. But when the patient worsens, the vastly experienced Jordan steps in to help. But will Ruth be honest about the situation, and where exactly does her future at the hospital lie?

Meanwhile massage parlour workers Bree and Joy are brought into Holby City hospital suffering from burns sustained when a fire breaks out in their flat. Both were making plans to escape the controlling clutches of massage parlour owner Tony, Bree with the help of her new boyfriend Dave. But will it be plain sailing for the young couple or does Joy have other plans?
