Ruth asks Jay out!

It's a big week for Ruth who has submitted her application for the surgical training post. Under close observation from Sarah Evans, Ruth's nerves begin to show and she gets tongue-tied with her patients. The young doctor is presented with a new problem when Jordan gives her two tickets to the Surgeons Dinner. She asks Jay to accompany her but he turns her down. Jordan writes a letter to his mother explaining his illness. His attempts to confide in Zoe fall flat when Adam interrupts them, so he leaves his letter from the Neurology Department in her pigeonhole. Jessica desperately misses her children Lucas and Amelia and refuses to move in with Adam until they're reunited. She then makes a secret phone call to her mother-in-law Maureen telling her Sean is Harry's father. Jay changes his mind and accompanies Ruth to the dinner. He's a big hit with everyone and introduces himself to Sarah as Dr Faldren! Later, Jay tries to get Ruth to go for more drinks with the other medics but she refuses, despite the spark between them, and goes home alone. Again. Jordan realises Zoe hasn't read his letter, so he removes it from her post box and heads off out for a drink with her...
