Dylan’s hard words hit home for Iain (Michael Stevenson), who believes if he’d made a different judgement call on the night of the multi-car crash Sam could still be alive today. After the funeral, Iain confronts Dylan outside the hospital. Dylan verbally goads Iain and, in response, Iain lashes out physically!

The fight comes to an end when Iain punches Dylan, and their bosses Jan Jenning and Connie Beauchamp intervene. But that’s not the end of the story… Iain decides not to attend his work tribunal, effectively quitting his job!

Elsewhere, when doctor Alicia Munroe and nurse David Hide are treating a young boy who seems terrified of his father, doctor Ethan Hardy wants to call social services.
