Tamzin's refusal to treat a drunk and abusive patient has serious repercussions this week! Professional footballer Jay is upset that his team lost, and as he drives home from the game, he throws his girlfriend Nicole out of the car on to the side of the road in a rage, only to return shortly after. But he has been drinking and, as he drives the wrong way up the motorway, he crashes into an oncoming car. Jeff and Tamzin attend the scene and, as Jay's behaviour becomes more abusive, Tamzin makes a decision that could have devastating consequences for her career and friendship with Jeff. Meanwhile back at the hospital, Tom is forced to reveal shocking news to the couple whose son he’s treating following the car crash... When Niall, Hannah and their toddler Owen are brought into the ED, it’s clear Niall and Hannah have a very close, passionate relationship. But as Tom treats Owen, he suspects the boy has a rare genetic syndrome called Morquio’s. Later Tamzin tells Jeff the full story and he decides to back her story in his official report – even though Jay is now paralyzed, following the accident... Elsewhere, Dylan reveals to Tom and Sam that he saw them kissing before the Halloween party.
