Full spoilers are below...
Stevie crosses paths with a patient's threatening relative...
It's judgement day for Stevie Nash as she prepares for her Jac Naylor Award interview and learns she'll be in competition with ED rival Ethan Hardy.
First, though, she must focus on work, as she treats singer Flo, who’d been making a music video with her boyfriend and manager Jordan, when she fell off a wall.
When she suffers an unexplained seizure, Flo admits she's been micro-dosing on PCP (phencyclidine) that Jordan gave her to 'release her creativity'.
Convinced he’s abusing Flo, Stevie confronts Jordan, who tries to intimidate her…
Indeed, later, as Stevie’s pacing the corridor practising answers for her big interview, Jordan finds her and beats her up!
Ethan finds Stevie and she's rushed into the ED. But this doctor makes a terrible patient and, despite being bloodied and bruised, Stevie decides she WILL make it to her interview…
A tough day gets to Jan...
Paramedic Jan begins her shift a little down in the dumps but is comforted by the fact that at least her friend who died had a good send-off. Jan grants Teddy some leave before heading out with Sah to treat 'frequent flyer' Dev — but she and Sah lock horns when Sah takes a comment about their services being 'completely overstretched' to mean that they shouldn't request leave.
Later, after Jan and Sah attend an RTC where a family are trapped in their vehicle, Jan assures Sah and Ffion that she's 'tough as old boots' but behind closed doors it seems she's anything BUT fine...
Marty looks to a future without Adi!
Marty treats elderly patient Rita (Marji Campi) for a sprained wrist. Marty's still reeling following his recent split from Adi on what would have been egg implantation day in their surrogacy arrangement with Robyn.
Rita appears to have memory loss but she's able to recall happy times with 'her Ronnie'... until Ronnie's real identity is revealed. As Marty meets the social worker who's replaced Adi, is it really the end of the road for them?
This episode of Casualty airs on Saturday, November 26 2022 at 9.25 pm on BBC One and is available on iPlayer after transmission.
