The arrival of new CT1 Lilah Birdwood causes ripples on AAU as Michael and Serena battle for her respect. But can Lilah prove herself worthy of their tussle or could she find herself on a plane back to Australia? When Jac is ordered by Hanssen to treat a board member's daughter she finds out more than she wanted to. Jac begins to doubt whether Hanssen is the leader she once thought he was. But when Jac's put on the spot, which way will Jac go? It's Chantelle's first day as Staff Nurse, but she finds herself the envy of Marie-Clare and when new hunk Rhys arrives on the scene, she's soon drawn into a dispute that nearly costs her professionally.
