When surgery midwife Ruhma tries to help a couple having IVF treatment, it leads Mrs Tembe to confess the truth about her crisis of faith...

Surgery practice manager Mrs Tembe just hasn't been herself since the car crash which killed Dr Heston Carter. She has secretly been struggling with a loss of faith over what happened.

But when Heston's widow, surgery midwife Ruhma Carter, tries to help a couple who are struggling to pay for IVF treatment so they can fulfil their dream of having a baby, it leads Mrs Tembe to tell Ruhma about her own secret battle...

Meanwhile, Laura Wade (played by ex-Corrie actress Julia Haworth) and her husband Russell are saddened by the news of their doctor Heston's death as they continue with the IVF treatment at St Phil's.
