Swimming With Sharks
Tuesday 6th July 2010

Mark cannot control his unease over Sacha, and misuses his power as CEO to check up on him. Penny is pushed to her limits with Frieda and decides she has to play her at her own game, and Elliot makes an unwelcome discovery when the laser fails to show up.


Secrets You Keep
Tuesday 13th July 2010

Elliot successfully performs Ben's life-saving laser surgery but can't keep the fact that he was scammed by Maggie a secret for very long. It is soon revealed that Elliot paid for the laser himself with the proceeds from his house. Elliot refuses to call the police but Mark reports the crime.

Meanwhile, Linden tries to keep his personal issues with Joseph from affecting his work, but when Frieda calls Joseph to an emergency without telling Linden, Linden is furious. Frieda retaliates by reminding Linden that patients in his care should not suffer due to his personal problems. Linden later apologises to Frieda and thanks Joseph for his help in theatre.

Sacha and Jac compete with each other to get a rise out of Elizabeth but Sacha is shocked when Jac takes the joke too far by hiding baby Daniel, sending Elizabeth into a panic and possibly affecting the dynamic of the team.


All Cried Out
Tuesday 20th July 2010

Ric shows Kate, a Trust member tasked with allocating funds left in a will, around Holby. Ric suggests that the funds be invested in the NHS rather than Holbycare. When Michael realises that Ric is getting the better of him both professionally and personally, he comes out fighting by announcing to the ward that he and Annalese are over, and that he's having dinner with Kate later.

Elliot is uncomfortable with all of the attention that his OBE has received and is focusing on avoiding journalists as opposed to treating his patients. Oliver puts him in his place when a patient seriously deteriorates and he needs Elliot to oversee the case. Elliot later apologises to Oliver for being a bad mentor.

Mud sticks and when Mark questions Donna about Sacha's behaviour with the female staff, the rumor mill kicks in. When a patient overhears Donna gossiping they decide they don't want to be treated by Sacha. Jac spins this to her advantage, but in the end it is Jac who stands up for Sacha and quashes the rumors once and for all.


Two In Five Marriages
Tuesday 27th July 2010

Linden is becoming agitated with Joseph and his constant involvement with Faye and the baby. When Joseph tells him he will be present at the birth, Linden announces that he and Faye are moving to Scotland. Faye questions Linden on his actions and he admits that he does not know if he can cope with the situation any more.

Michael and Kate's affair comes to an end when he asks her to be his date for a charity ball and she declines. Michael then asks Connie who also turns him down, until Michael defends Connie from a patient's relative and she finally agrees to go.
