But when the junkie is rushed in after taking an overdose, Ric battles to save him before rushing to the aid of the security guard, who dies. Meanwhile, Linden is struggling with his conscience over his longing for Faye and, sensing Linden has something on his mind, Faye suggests they go for dinner that evening.

Battling with whether or not he should declare his feelings, Linden backs out at the last minute.
