Tom has a dramatic first day

It's the day after the Silverton explosion and Jordan introduces Tom, who officially joins the team. Tom soon has a mystery on his hands when a family involved in the explosion end up back in the ED with unexplained injuries. But when the young son of the family is kidnapped, everything becomes clear, and as the child's life is put in serious danger, it's trusty Big Mac who's in the right place at the right time. Dylan accuses Sam of interfering when her attempts to reunite a dying patient with his ex-wife go awry when it turns out it was his former lover he actually wanted to see. But can Sam's meddling actually have done some good after all? And super cool Jordan seems to get a little hot under the collar when he meets attractive young police chief DCI Rippon. Could there be romance in the air for Holby's head honcho?
