Back down in the Emergency Department, Cate comes face to face with a past unresolved situation when a prostitute is brought in brutally bashed. When Cate finds out the patient is the mother of the child she saw in a brothel [episode 7.35], she rushes in where angels fear to tread. Engaging Nelson's help to get the Department of Child Services on side, Cate launches into her quest to save the child, Lily. Nelson watches with concern as Cate's objectivity is brought into question. It takes an extraordinary offer for Nelson to understand the depth of the situation. When all options are exhausted both Cate and Nelson feel drained and unfulfilled as their efforts result in a no-win situation for all concerned. Jack is tending to a woman with a self-inflicted injury after a road rage incident. In treating this woman, Jack is forced to think more carefully about his behaviour when dealing with the emotional rollercoaster he is on with Charlotte and their unborn child. It's all going too fast and the child somehow seems unreal. The situation is complicated by the fact that Charlotte's pregnancy is now common knowledge and Jack's role in it is already known to Frank Campion. Frank, a party to all these events, has to re-evaluate his own role as a parent. Kathleen is recovering and asks to see him. When he visits, he learns her mother has been to see Kathleen several times too. An angry confrontation settles nothing.

A patient, wearing pyjamas and covered in blood, collapses in the waiting room of All Saints before being able to give any details. The trouble is he doesn't have any wounds. So whose blood is it? It's only after a young man called Dean is brought in following a motor vehicle accident that the patient, called Lyall, shows any signs of life. Dan notices Lyall's mumbling, in response to Dean's screams, and eventually deciphers he is asking for someone to forgive him. Dan puts two and two together - the blood on Lyall's clothes and the ramblings - and thinks that Lyall may have killed someone. After seeking advice from Nelson and Frank he calls the police. Two boys in their late teens arrive in the emergency department with massive injuries following a car accident as a result of a high speed police chase.

Unable to engage emotionally with the grieving man, Jack pushes to have the patient treated against his wishes. Cate refuses to let Jack allow his own pain to compromise his usual compassion. Putting aside their recent past, Terri visits Charlotte at home and shares some very personal history - how she and Mitch coped with the pain of losing their own baby. Spending the day together, Terri helps Charlotte face her feelings of guilt and loss, and to take the first tentative steps towards emotional recovery. With Terri's gentle encouragement, Charlotte finally allows Jack to share in the grieving process. Jessica's romantic illusions about marriage and romance are shattered when she nurses a flirtatious patient. She discovers the patient's burns resulted from a domestic dispute in which the woman's husband suffered grave injuries, and that these injuries were made worse by the fact he was left to deteriorate at home while his wife took herself to hospital. Jessica's mood isn't helped when she witnesses the growing friendship between Cate and Vincent. The situation is worsened when Cate reveals she contributed to tension between Jessica and Vincent by letting slip to him that Jessica fancies him. Jessica demands Cate undo her handiwork. Amidst all this, Cate is very privately and stoically nursing her own feelings of loss and grief. At the end of the day, she and Vincent find themselves sharing some wry observations on the price of intimacy - only to arrive at a brief but unnerving moment of intimacy of their own. Cate walks away, but we are left with the distinct feeling that these two could have a lot more in common than we've previously seen.

When young couple Craig Mendolsohn and Megan Harris are brought in after an MVA, Charlotte and Jack take a special interest in their treatment after it's discovered that Megan is five months pregnant. Jack meanwhile has been treating Craig and he is touched by Craig's concern for Megan and his baby, only to be confronted with the bitter truth about the accident. Frank's criticism of Constable Peter Saunders when he learns that it was a pursuit gone wrong, confirms his original conclusion that the young constable is a gung-ho cowboy with little regard for the consequences of his actions. However, this assessment is proven wrong and results in dire consequences which put Frank and Cate at loggerheads. After recent events, the rest of the staff are beginning to resent being targeted by Beth because of Vincent and when they receive a taunting bunch of flowers it's the last straw. Vincent is close to breaking point and it's Cate who gives him an ultimatum. Nelson and Kerry are very aware of the chilly reception they are receiving from Von since getting together. Out of concern for each other, Kerry and Nelson each separately confront Von, but apparently without success.

When Vincent takes a call from Beth claiming that she's planted a bomb in the Emergency Department, a major evacuation of the hospital is triggered.

After some wrangling, Vincent and Nelson stay with the patient while Frank and Cate organise continuing treatment for patients at a Muster Point in the hospital grounds. As the Bomb Squad move in to try to find and disable the bomb, Vincent and Nelson can only attend to their patient and wait. Out at the Muster Point, tension is running high, with Kerry wanting to know what's happening with Nelson and eliciting support from Von. Frank promises they will be out as soon as alternative isolation option is arranged for the patient. The diplomat goes into severe respiratory failure. Nelson gets the HFOV unit from Neo Natal in order to keep the man alive. Being connected to this machine makes him impossible to move. One of the patients who can be evacuated is sent off in an ambulance with Jack, Lorraine and Stuart. Jack has his own problems when the ambulance is turned away from St Angela's. The patient experiences respiratory failure and Jack has to perform a makeshift operation in the back of the ambulance to try and save her life. When the bomb is found the dangerous job of disabling the device begins. Vincent sends Nelson out to safety and remains alone with the patient and in close proximity to the bomb. Just when Vincent is ready to breathe a sigh of relief at the end of the day, Cate goes missing. When Vincent realizes why, his blood runs cold.

The after effects of the bomb scare are still being felt by all. As Frank and Nelson deal with the administrative aftermath, Vincent deals with the police investigation surrounding the disappearance of Cate that afternoon. The police have no news to offer at this stage and an exhausted Vincent elects to go home. There, Vincent finds Beth with Cate, drugged and tied up. Beth is delusional, believing Cate is a major factor in Vincent's rejection of her and tonight, someone will die. While Vincent deals with the consequences of obsessional love, Nelson is fighting his own demons. His experience in the bomb scare has made him realise how deep his feelings for Kerry really run, forcing him into making some big decisions about his life. Meanwhile, in the Emergency Department, love is also on the agenda, when a young woman arrives via Ambulance. Her loving boyfriend has fed her a strawberry as a romantic gesture and she has choked on it. The boyfriend's attempts to dislodge the offending fruit has led to further medical complications and Jessica finds herself having to build up the boyfriend's confidence so that he can fulfil his evening's agenda and propose to the woman he loves.

It's been few days since Beth unleashed her final campaign of terror upon Vincent and Cate. The fallout of that sees Vincent a broken man, holed up in a seedy hotel with many bottles of scotch for company. Charlotte is frustrated by Vincent's refusal to contact her, assuming he's chosen Cate as his support. Cate, meanwhile, has assumed that Vincent has sought solace in the familiar company of his ex-wife. Both are alarmed to discover that Vincent has chosen neither, and it is Cate who finally makes a breakthrough with Vincent, leading the pair to an unexpected encounter. A fleeting moment of peer pressure is the cause of a car accident involving six teenagers jam-packed into the one car.
