An Ugly Truth
Saturday 6th February 2010
Adam and Jessica struggle to keep their personal and professional lives on track after the tragic events of the past few weeks. It's the week after Harry's funeral and Jessica is finding it increasingly difficult to live and work with Adam as he reminds her so much of everything she's lost. When Jessica's long-lost friend, Linda, turns up at the Emergency Department with an injured arm, she outlines a proposition to Jessica which gives the grieving mother some food for thought.
Elderly patient Mrs Bullock, meanwhile, is brought into the ED distressed and disorientated by a disturbing vision of a clown. Could her condition have anything to do with the energy drinks she's been consuming?
Dixie is delighted when her father, Arthur, turns up out of the blue but saddened when he tells her some unexpected news. When Arthur sees Dixie and Jeff sharing a joke together and tells Dixie he's glad she has a supportive boyfriend, something stops her from correcting his mistake.
Dog-lover Dom is surprised to be on the receiving end of a vicious attack from reputable businessman Brian, until Brian reveals that Dom's dog had previously mauled his daughter. However, Dom might just hold the key to the family's rehabilitation. Meanwhile, it's the day the F2s find out their exam results and Noel holds firm as they each try to wheedle the results out of him.
Love Is A Battlefield
Saturday 13th February 2010
Zoe and Jordan's volatile relationship explodes; Dixie surprises Jeff with a proposition; and Charlie confronts the scheming Shona. Lovers Julie and Martin kiss passionately, unaware they're being photographed by private investigator Norman. On catching sight of him, Julie gives chase and Norman is injured as she snatches his camera. She is determined to persuade Norman not to use the pictures, but could the private investigator be the one to make her see the error of her ways?
Meanwhile, Dixie's sick father, Arthur, decides to spend some quality time with his daughter, which causes problems for the paramedic as she's never revealed her true sexuality. Determined not to disappoint her father, Dixie has a surprising proposition for sparring partner Jeff. When Zoe doesn't turn up for a shift, Jordan is furious and gives the medic a piece of his mind. Out for revenge, Zoe fills in a patient comment form and doesn't hold back on her thoughts. Tensions mount when, disgusted by Zoe's attitude, Jordan decides to confront her.
It's an important match day for the ED soccer team and when their star player pulls out, Adam steps into the breach. But it soon becomes clear that Adam's problems off the pitch are affecting his play – to the detriment of the opposing team members.
Charlie is horrified to find that Shona has broken into Louis's house and even more disturbed to discover that she uses drugs. But matters go from bad to worse when, after confronting the drunken girl, Charlie crashes his car...
Past Lives
Saturday 20th February 2010
There are two new faces in the Emergency Department this week. Robert Boulter arrives as a handsome young doctor who ruffles May's feathers; and Hotel Babylon's Raymond Coultard plays Dr Matt Strong, who has his heart set on Zoe. Meanwhile, a bereavement counsellor gets more than he bargained for from Adam.
May is distracted when a handsome stranger turns up in Holby on a motorbike but, when she sees him in cubicles later, she is her usual snooty self. When the stranger reveals himself as Dr Kieron Fletcher, a young research doctor who's hoping to apply for the fellowship, May is seriously unimpressed. Kieron turns out to be a more than capable colleague, but just what is sparking his unusual interest in Jordan?
Relaxing after work with a glass of wine, Zoe contacts Jordan to bury the hatchet and offer her full support now that he's head of the ED. But a bottle later, Zoe is horrified to realise that she's left a stream of messages about their relationship on Jordan's answer machine. The next day, fending off the attentions of her admirer, Dr Matt Strong, Zoe is determined to erase the machine before Jordan hears her drunken ramblings.
The ED team, especially Alice, are worried about Adam's increasingly erratic behaviour but their concern is only adding to his problems. Reluctantly, Adam attends counselling to talk through his difficulties but, when the counsellor provokes Adam to get a response, the first session doesn't go quite to plan...
Life Sentence
Saturday 27th February 2010
A pleasure boat accident brings watery memories back to the surface for Adam; new F2 Keiron pushes his luck with the patients; and Zoe's new admirer gets under Jordan's skin. Despite his colleagues' concern, Adam volunteers to attend with the paramedics when a pleasure boat sinks on a river and, with memories of Jessica and Harry still fresh, dives into the water looking for casualties.
It's Kieron's first day and he's desperate to impress Jordan. While dealing with a young diabetic patient who refuses anything other than synthetic insulin, Kieron takes a big risk by covertly administering a normal insulin dose to prevent the girl falling into a coma. Jordan is both furious and admiring. Kieron thinks he's finally starting to make a connection with his clinical lead.
Scared of failure, Ruth is hesitant when she is put forward to assist on a new surgical trial but when she impresses her mentor, Howard Fairfax, she decides to pursue her surgical dream once more.
Meanwhile, Jordan overhears Matt's persuasive advances towards a disbelieving Zoe; Alice thinks she's made an emotional breakthrough with Adam when he admits that he is finally going to visit Harry's grave for the first time; and Jeff makes a big announcement to a stunned reception and Dixie.
