Tom takes the lead when a baby is rushed in with breathing difficulties, and having previously failed to diagnose a youngster's meningitis, he is determined to be thorough in his examination. But as he undertakes tests without clearance from Zoe, Sam begins to worry about her colleague's state of mind. Will he make a hash of it?

Elsewhere, Tess tries to get to the bottom of a reckless patient's desire to live for the moment, and Louise is determined to get Ash all to herself.
