Oh dear. Michael Spence’s spectacular downward spiral doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Following last week’s drink and drugs session with party girl Caitlin, Michael finds himself having to rush his binge buddy into hospital after she overdoses. The situation finds him risking his whole career when he attempts to perform surgery on the woman, despite being high on cocaine. Only Ric’s intervention stops Michael from performing in theatre under the influence of class A drugs. But will his reckless behaviour be his undoing professionally, and will Ric report Michael? Elsewhere, Oliver goes over Greg’s head with a patient and learns a valuable lesson. Frieda upsets a patient – can she swallow her pride and apologise?
