- With Mike out of action, Steve's leadership abilities are put to the test while rescuing two brothers trapped in a lift. A fathers decision with regard to his daughter leaves Charlotte feeling hamstrung.
- With Mike still recovering from his injuries, Steve steps into the role of team leader in the MRU when they are called out to help two men who have been injured by a malfunctioning lift. One casualty is profoundly deaf and suffering from severe abdominal injuries, having been trapped in the door, while his brother has an arm mangled in the winch mechanism. Rescue fail to arrive and a heated debate ensues as to whether to amputate the brother's arm to free him. Steve eventually backs down but when Mike questions the decision, Steve can't help but feel he failed to live up to the responsibilities of leadership. Joan Marden, the former Director of Nursing at All Saints, presents at ED suffering from a nasty burn. She has early onset Alzheimer's and Von is shaken to see how much her friend has gone downhill since she last saw her. Von has trouble organising appropriate care for Joan, and eventually steamrolls Frank into getting her admitted to avoid making the painful decision. Although sympathetic, Frank makes it clear what he thinks of Von's tactics. Late that night, a rare moment of lucidity from Joan encourages both Von and Claire to reach out to others. Gabrielle's sentimentality towards her late father is fuelled when a young woman brings her own dad to the ED with a broken ankle. About to leave the family nest on the trip of a lifetime, Carly worries that her father's clumsiness is a manifestation of his reluctance to let her go. When the patient is discovered to have something far more serious than just a fractured ankle, he forbids Charlotte and Gabrielle to tell his daughter the truth. Gabrielle disagrees with his decision and Charlotte is forced to stop her from taking matters into her own hands. The situation helps Gabrielle to realise she too is shielding someone from the truth. But will she be able to rise above her own hypocrisy? After a public tongue lashing from Frank, Elliott chooses his career over Bree and ends their relationship. Bree finds comfort in good ol' fashioned friendship, with important input from a six-pack and a greasy pizza.
