This week’s episode of Casualty picks up where we left off in the previous instalment. Indie Jankowski (Naomi Wakszlak) was last seen with her friend Badger, unaware that she was in real danger.
She makes contact with the ambulance team tomorrow as she wakes up and finds Badger in a bad way. Paramedics attend, but this situation leads to Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) making a discovery about the drugs theft and tampering currently going on in the hospital.
He makes a realisation about someone very close to him – but is he right?
Also, Nicole Piper (Sammy T Dobson) makes a decision about an upcoming funeral, and a friendship may be forming between Flynn Byron (Olly Rix) and another doctor.
Who would’ve thought?
Here’s all your spoilers for this week’s episode of Casualty.
Indie’s post party chaos
The ambulance service receives a call from Indie, who is worried about her pal Badger, who has collapsed on the floor and is unresponsive. Once Iain and Teddy (Milo Clarke) arrive, Badger is loaded into their ambulance. Iain is disappointed to learn that Teddy joined Indie and Badger in taking the dodgy pills the night before.
At the hospital, Cam (Barney Walsh) tells Indie that he’s relieved she’s safe. After a brief misunderstanding, he tells Indie that he’s glad she isn’t in a relationship with Badger, and it looks as though the two will actually get together.
Later in the day, Indie manages to reconcile with Jan (Di Botcher), who informs Indie that there’s a vacancy within the Holby ambulance service that she can take if she likes.
Iain makes a discovery
After handing Badger over at the ED, Iain is approached by Jacob (Charles Venn), who requests a favour of a couple of grand without any explanation. Later on, Iain finds Teddy stealing heart medication from a recently deceased patient called Amos.
Teddy explains to Iain that his heart problems have returned, but he hasn’t been able to get hold of his medication since the recent shortages. Teddy knows that Amos’ medication would’ve been destroyed, and doesn’t want to lose HART’s interest in him as a result of his health issues.
While the development leaves Iain taken aback, he’s able to work out that Teddy isn’t the person stealing the morphine.
Meanwhile, Faith (Kirsty Mitchell) remains convinced that one of the paramedics is responsible for the drugs tampering. She grows suspicious of Jacob when he hands over a patient in a wave of pain, and begins to question whether he’s being truthful about the amount of morphine he’s administering.
Before the shift ends Iain tells the team that hospital grade morphine is being sold on the Holby’s streets. Immediately after this, Jacob walks away. Once Faith raises her suspicions about Jacob to Iain, he’s faced with the fact his best mate must be the one stealing the morphine.
Nicole attends a funeral
Nicole tends to an unconscious Hugo Atkinson, who is injured after being stabbed and falling down a flight of stairs. Hugo is accompanied by wife Kate and their young son Elias.
Suspicions begin to rise, however, when Nicole realises Kate has a bruise on his arm that suggests she’s been grabbed. Once Elias comments on whether his dad has become poorly because he shouted at his mum, the story behind Hugo’s condition begins to unravel.
Hugo dies in resus, and Kate reveals that she stabbed her partner after he threatened to take Elias away – because of her recurring drug habit. As Elias is taken into care, the situation makes Nicole change her mind about attending Maggie’s funeral.
She ignores Cassie’s warnings and arrives at the church, and even decides to speak in front of Maggie’s loved ones. Nicole says that she never trusted anyone until she met Maggie and, in a cathartic moment between the two of them later, Cassie accepts Nicole’s help to get away from the drugs gang.
Flynn gets a new friend…maybe
Despite the rocky dynamic, Dylan Keogh (William Beck) believes that he and Flynn can unite on the written proposal on how to tackle the growing drugs crisis.
Flynn puts some time aside to look over Dylan’s proposal, but throws the document back on his desk when he realises the proposal is 68 pages long! Overwhelmed with demands from all directions, Flynn lies to Dylan and says that he’s read the proposal, and then grants him permission to implement his plans.
Things turn quickly, however, when Flynn overhears Dylan discussing a guilt-free amnesty with a patient. Flynn reacts by rebuking Dylan for stretching the ED’s resources and giving into drug addicts, causing Dylan to realise that Flynn never actually read his proposal.
After the bulletin is released that outlines morphine being sold on the streets, Flynn eventually admits that Dylan was right – they need to do something. Flynn decides that the amnesty can start and Dylan can lead it.
Dylan feels surprised by the sudden change of heart, but is glad they’re both on the same page at last.
