1. Jodie feels guilty

After the crash which killed his wife Thea, Aaron continues to question what happened and what led to her death. In the relatives’ room, Dylan and Jodie assure him that they did all they could, but they have both been deeply affected by Thea’s death.

2. Nicole returns to work
BBC
Nicole grows bored with being on maternity leave, and Ngozi is surprised when she returns to work. But when treating a patient, she overexerts herself and doubles over in pain.

3. Dylan tells a lie
BBC
When Siobhan mentions that Jodie was drunk at the restaurant, Dylan jumps to her defence. He tells a lie and says that she only had one glass of wine and therefore wasn’t drunk. Jodie is confused about why he has done this, and when she confronts Dylan, he explains that he was just looking out for her.
Dylan also has some explaining to do with Sophia, and he is quick to reassure her that his dinner with Jodie wasn’t a date. But will his lie come back to haunt him and Jodie?
4. Ngozi makes plans

Nicole is grateful for Ngozi’s help with a patient, but she realises that they won’t have long left together because Ngozi is soon returning to Nigeria to be with her son Obi.
