Following last week's knife attack by highly-disturbed patient Hannah, paramedic Polly finds herself down in the hospital basement, alone and bleeding, on what should have been her final shift. Hannah comes back for her, but instead of helping, drags a weak and frightened Polly off to a side room, then goes off to ask Dylan to help. But when agitated Hannah finally reaches Dylan, he doesn't want to know - he's hidden his dog in the basement and is reluctant to go down there... Jay finally finds her, barely alive. She's brought upstairs to resus, but despite everyone's best efforts the young medic dies. Full of remorse, Dylan blames himself. Elsewhere, Miriam is offered the job of Clinical Lead.
