00:00Previously, on Shotland Street.
00:02Oh my god.
00:03Bridget, you two know Jolly.
00:05You're looking at my very first love.
00:06I have been thinking about when Felix was born.
00:09Is he mine?
00:10Watch out, mum being a waiter.
00:12Pretending like we're mates.
00:13Acting like she's mother of the year.
00:15Yes, she is.
00:15My big doctor girl.
00:23What the hell are you doing here?
00:25I came to see you.
00:27I told you I need space.
00:28This is like the exact opposite of space.
00:31I just wanted to talk to you.
00:33Well, I'm not ready.
00:36Would you just listen to me?
00:37I'm working, Jolly.
00:39I just wanted to see how you are.
00:40I don't care.
00:41Whatever it is, get Mark to help you.
00:43Ambushing me on my shift isn't going to make things better.
00:47Mark and I are no longer together, Jaya.
00:50What?
00:51I've sort of been trying to tell you.
00:52I knew I had to make a change.
00:54And I thought you should know.
00:56And why?
00:58Go on.
00:59Why did you dump my stepdad?
01:01Because you never know how long you've got left on this planet.
01:03And I couldn't bear it if I didn't try to make things right between us.
01:07I'm sober now.
01:09Three weeks.
01:11Well, I can't say that I'm sorry that you broke up.
01:13Yeah, I know I haven't been the mum you wanted.
01:16I can't fix it all in this moment, but I thought we'd at least make a start.
01:23What do you mean you don't know?
01:27Do you not remember our breakup?
01:29Of course I do.
01:29Of course I do.
01:30It wasn't my finest hour, you know, ghosting you and then moving cities.
01:33Exactly.
01:33I sort of went off the rails.
01:36Oh, yeah.
01:36You mean...
01:37Don't you slut shame me.
01:38I'm not slut shaming you.
01:39I'm just trying to get my head around what you're saying.
01:41Which is what, exactly?
01:44That...
01:45I don't know who Felix's father is.
01:47But I'm in the running?
01:49Along with whatever men you meet at ladies' night at the pub?
01:52Sorry, I'm in a set of shock.
01:54He could even be Gary's.
01:56Well, does Gary know?
01:57It doesn't seem to matter to him.
01:58He's been the only dad Felix has ever known.
02:00Well, what about Felix?
02:01Does he know where he came from?
02:03Does he know who he is?
02:04I mean, I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your son,
02:06but maybe if I am his father, then maybe I should...
02:07You don't get to have an opinion.
02:09Until today, you didn't seem to give a crap about Felix or me.
02:12Okay, I don't want to tell you to calm down,
02:13but your blood pressure is really through the roof right now.
02:15Then why don't you do me a favour and go away?
02:25I'm sorry.
02:26For everything.
02:28The drinking, the shitty stepdad.
02:32How I reacted to your whole, um...
02:34Transition?
02:35Yeah.
02:37I'd give anything to go back and do things differently.
02:42That's okay.
02:43Don't dwell.
02:46I know.
02:48Because you're strong.
02:50And brave.
02:52Certainly didn't hear it that from me.
02:56I don't know.
02:57You said you're a three-week sober, right?
03:00Can't be any easy thing.
03:03Missed you.
03:06You don't have to say it, too.
03:08I'm just happy to be here with you.
03:14Me, too.
03:16Hey, I've just done Michelle's ops.
03:18Any problems?
03:19Tim's normal.
03:20Um...
03:21It looks like her C-section's healing okay,
03:23but her BP is 130 on 110.
03:26Okay.
03:26I'll do it.
03:28She's got no support.
03:29You're all alone in there.
03:31I know.
03:33What about you?
03:35Support with the case?
03:36No, your robot.
03:37About the breakup.
03:38How are you holding up?
03:39Well, I appreciate the care.
03:41Let's just focus on helping Michelle adjust to motherhood.
03:43Look, I've been there, so if you ever need anything...
03:46I won't.
03:47Suit yourself.
03:48Hey, Michelle.
03:54How are you feeling?
03:56I'm okay.
03:59Have you named him yet?
04:01No.
04:02I haven't decided yet.
04:03But I'm making a short list.
04:06Hello there.
04:09You know you can hold him, too.
04:11You said he's got something wrong with his tummy.
04:13I don't want to make it worse by moving him around.
04:15It's called Mickle's diverticulum.
04:17It's relatively common.
04:19It's a small pouch in the intestines,
04:20and sometimes as baby grows,
04:22it can cause pain or vomiting,
04:24but it can be sorted with a small procedure.
04:27I promise it's quite safe.
04:34See?
04:36Like this.
04:38Hey, we'll get you sorted soon, yeah?
04:40You can settle into a nice routine with your mum.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Would you like to take her for a minute?
04:47Come on.
04:49Skin-to-skin contact's important.
04:51I read that.
04:52Quite right.
05:03I'll leave you to her, eh?
05:05Sure.
05:07You'll be okay.
05:08I'll leave you to her, eh?
05:17Oi.
05:19Where's Jare?
05:20She's meant to be assessing Mr Wilkinson.
05:21I'm sending us past the lead right now.
05:24Here he is.
05:26Our resident ladies' man.
05:28Who you meant?
05:29Wouldn't have picked you for a leg over man's age,
05:31but I'm vibing it for you, bro.
05:33Don't touch your subject.
05:36All right.
05:36Roger, dodger.
05:38Just tell me where you need me.
05:40Room four.
05:40Mrs Marshall needs her leg laceration dressed,
05:42and here's some newbies for you to work up.
05:44Sage.
05:45What have we got?
05:51What are you doing home?
05:53I thought you were going to be in theatre all afternoon.
05:54I was.
05:57I took the afternoon off.
05:59Are you okay?
06:01Yeah.
06:02I'm fine.
06:02I just thought we could do with some quality for our new time.
06:06Okay.
06:07Why do I think there's a catch?
06:09Because there is.
06:11I will be working evenings for the next little wee while.
06:14I decided to help Julian with his genetics research after all.
06:19Well, I'm sure he'll be happy about that.
06:22Having your skills, I mean.
06:23I know I said I wouldn't.
06:25It's just, we had this patient today,
06:27and she had a cardiac angiosarcoma,
06:28and it's the first one I've seen outside of the lab.
06:31Well, I couldn't very well make you walk away from that now, could I?
06:34Are you sure?
06:35Yes, I'm on your team, babe.
06:37I want you to do whatever makes you happy.
06:39And if that's talking tumours with Julian,
06:42then I'm not going to stand in your way.
06:44I love you.
06:46Love you.
06:53Julian, hi.
06:57This afternoon.
06:57It's fine.
06:59Go.
07:01Yeah.
07:02Yeah, it will be one hell of a shock.
07:06You might see the alarm.
07:08Let's have a walk.
07:13Seriously, I should get back.
07:15Can't Est to get you a longer break?
07:17There's got to be some perks of having your cousin at the top.
07:19She's not the CEO anymore.
07:20That was ages ago.
07:21Right.
07:22Sorry.
07:23It's okay.
07:24A lot to catch up on.
07:25Well, I won't get you in trouble.
07:28Give me a call if you'd like to do this again.
07:30Okay.
07:31Okay.
07:31I will.
07:31She looks like you.
07:39You're saying I look like a weathered alcoholic.
07:41Okay, that's a bit harsh.
07:42She's beautiful.
07:44Have you got the CT report back for Liam Skinner?
07:46No.
07:47Who's going to have a rough night?
07:49You need anything?
07:49I imagine that was a lot.
07:53I know you think I should give her a chance, but trust me.
07:55I know how this goes.
07:57I've just finally gotten to a place where I feel like all that shit from when I was a kid,
08:01it wasn't my fault.
08:02But I didn't deserve it.
08:04I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment again.
08:08Yeah, that's really fair.
08:09Where do you think you're going, Sunshine?
08:17No, no, you're booked for a head CT.
08:18I don't need it.
08:20Yeah, you do.
08:21Hey, Max.
08:23Thanks for the young master Wodehouse here.
08:25Doesn't leave this cube.
08:27Don't make me call security.
08:28You've had a serious knock to the head.
08:29Sorry, I'm back late.
08:35You're all good, it's okay.
08:38How much for you?
08:39Is everything all right?
08:40My mum, she showed up.
08:42Listen.
08:43The only one I have.
08:44Yes, that mum.
08:46Mrs. Marshall's dressing is done and she's ready to be discharged.
08:49The chest pain in Cube 2, had a normal ECG, so it just sounds like indigestion,
08:52and then the abdo pain in 5 is probably an appendix.
08:56Sounds like.
08:57Probably.
08:58Not exactly filling me with confidence, Sage.
09:00Yeah, no, sorry, sorry.
09:01I am sure.
09:02Promise.
09:04All right.
09:05Go for a puppy with Scooter Guild.
09:07Yeah.
09:08Hey, Sage.
09:09Head in the game, please.
09:10Yeah, yeah, of course.
09:11How was Timothy with his lunch?
09:13Ah, he's barely touched it.
09:14Still no appetite.
09:15Nausea.
09:16Yeah, I reckon.
09:18I'll review his meds.
09:19Sweetie.
09:20How are you feeling, mum?
09:22Okay.
09:23Well, if you need anything, I'm your guy.
09:25Hey, Olivia's mum wanted some crayons.
09:27Could you sort that?
09:29Sure.
09:30See you, mum.
09:31Mm-hmm.
09:32Bye.
09:34Glad you're here.
09:36Really?
09:37Yeah, I needed to ask a favour.
09:39I'm not really in the mood for favours.
09:42I'd do it myself, but I have to go into surgery.
09:45Fine.
09:46What is it?
09:47Michelle Ponce.
09:48She ordered some food that's going to be delivered down in triage, but she can't walk
09:51because of her C-section.
09:52I was wondering if you could pick it up for her.
09:54Do I look like a delivery girl?
09:56No, of course not.
09:58But this is for a mother whose child is about to go into surgery days after being born.
10:02She hasn't eaten or slept since.
10:03Surely you can sympathise with her.
10:05Nausea, I know she's gone through a hard time.
10:07I'm not a monster.
10:08I don't see what the problem is.
10:09The problem is I'm not at your beck and call.
10:11Or your precious pregnant patient.
10:13What does that even mean?
10:14You're just obsessed with babies.
10:17Sorry.
10:17Don't be.
10:19He's all yours.
10:20Look, I'll go do the delivery.
10:21God forbid a new mum be without food.
10:26Michelle ready?
10:28Yeah.
10:33Mum?
10:34Oh, sorry, darling.
10:36I was just off.
10:38What were you doing?
10:39Nothing.
10:41Open it.
10:42I know we're patching things up, but that doesn't give you the right to go through my car.
10:46Hi, Joy.
10:47I'm Maeve.
10:48I work with your daughter.
10:49Open the bloody bit.
10:50You're being ridiculous.
10:51This is so embarrassing, Gia.
10:59Look, I know I've made some mistakes, but I am still your mother.
11:03I deserve at least a shred of respect from you.
11:07Okay?
11:08It's gone.
11:09I know it.
11:11I can smell it on your breath.
11:14Gia!
11:16So I've taken out as much as I can, without damaging the heart itself,
11:19but you will definitely need chemotherapy.
11:22This proves how important our research is.
11:25It would be a great help if we can count on you to be a part of it.
11:29And with your permission,
11:30I'd like access to the biopsy of your tumour as well.
11:33Well, I don't bloody want it.
11:34You can have it.
11:35And I'll answer whatever questions you have.
11:37You will too, won't you, Mum?
11:38I just woke up.
11:42Can you give me a minute?
11:44We'll let you rest, and we'll come and check in a little later on.
11:47Hopefully, Teresa's case will help me twist some arms, funding-wise,
11:56and we can really light a fire into this.
11:59This is really important to you, isn't it?
12:01Of course.
12:03Developing screening options for cancer could prevent so much loss and heartache.
12:07Yeah, I hear you.
12:08I was so relieved when the kids' heart screening came back clear.
12:11So you get in.
12:13To have to watch someone be destroyed from the inside out while you sit there.
12:19Helpless.
12:21I didn't realise you'd lost somebody.
12:24My girlfriend, Wiener.
12:28We met first year of med school.
12:31She was always getting sick.
12:32She wouldn't stop coughing.
12:33But our flat was so draughty that it would blow all our study notes off the tables.
12:37So it made sense.
12:41Until it didn't.
12:43By the time we realised it was way more than that, it was too late.
12:49What started out in her lungs had spread everywhere.
12:54I'm sorry.
12:56That's awful.
12:58I had to watch her brilliance just fade away into nothing.
13:04Such a waste.
13:05That's why I got into oncology.
13:10I couldn't save Juana.
13:12But I figured if I could stop just one person from going through what she did,
13:17maybe she didn't die for nothing.
13:23Am I having a hospital?
13:24Her chest pain can be a lot of things.
13:26We have more specialised equipment in here to help you, that's all.
13:29Look out to cardiac monitoring and do a 12-lead.
13:31What's that?
13:33Just heart tracing.
13:34Nothing painful, I promise.
13:36What else?
13:38You're misbehaving.
13:39Larissa here has developed a bit of chest pain.
13:41Ah, stink.
13:43Trauma from a crash can have some knock-on effects.
13:45So first we'll do this ECG,
13:47and then we'll get an urgent chest x-ray and see if we can't figure out what's causing it.
13:50So it could be my heart.
13:52And it could be a lot of things.
13:53But chest pain does bump you up to the top of the queue,
13:56so it's not all bad, right?
13:57The ECG will give us a better idea.
14:00And I need to run some tests and get a blood sample.
14:02This arm is good?
14:03Yeah.
14:04Thanks.
14:05Put your hand and a fist for me, please.
14:07I sat to 90% on air.
14:09Is that okay?
14:11It's a little low,
14:12but it could just mean that your lungs aren't working as well as they should be.
14:16We'll test this blood sample and then get you a chest scan.
14:19Right, Doc?
14:19That's right.
14:21Don't worry.
14:21You're in good hands.
14:24Hey, thanks.
14:26I think you calmed her nerves a bit.
14:27We'll put out the service.
14:32Are you kidding me?
14:34You don't have to forgive her,
14:35but just hear her out, okay?
14:36I think she should explain herself.
14:37What's your excuse?
14:38Hard day at the office?
14:39I am not drinking again, Gia.
14:42I'm sober.
14:42We literally caught you.
14:45Yeah, Joy.
14:47I'm not drinking.
14:48What, so you just carry around vodka bottles in the back of your book?
14:51Oh, I did no such thing.
14:53Maybe we should just start with full transparency.
14:55Excuse me?
14:55Who do you think you are?
14:57Sorry.
14:58You, you are so unbelievable.
15:01I don't know why you're trying to spoil things.
15:02We had such a lovely afternoon together.
15:05Fine.
15:06Prove it.
15:07Do a blood alcohol test.
15:09Fine by me.
15:09And when I pass this,
15:11you'll stop hassling me about it.
15:15Look, Gia,
15:15I don't think this is a good idea.
15:17She's up for it.
15:18Well, we saw her.
15:19We already know.
15:20She can't admit it to herself.
15:22She's in denial.
15:23She's got a warped sense of reality.
15:25Ready when you are.
15:26I'll do it.
15:27As long as you let me show her the results.
15:29Of course.
15:31But do you think maybe there's a chance she doesn't...
15:32You don't know her like I do.
15:33You're dead for it again.
15:41Not exactly you.
15:42I should be so lucky.
15:44You know, we are good people.
15:46Are we?
15:46You literally saved someone's life this morning,
15:48but even if you hadn't,
15:49we are still good people.
15:50Why does this stuff keep happening to us?
15:52No idea.
15:53Maybe we were Bonnie and Clyde in a past life.
15:56Have you managed to avoid Nars yet?
15:58Trying to,
15:59but he's probably pulling orphans and puppies
16:01out of a burning building or something.
16:02He's a hard man to hate, isn't he?
16:05I am giving it a good old go.
16:10Okay.
16:11Nearly done.
16:12Just a couple more.
16:15She does such a good job.
16:17Yeah, she does.
16:19We're very lucky to have her.
16:21You sure do need a lot of blood to do a test for alcohol.
16:24Well, actually,
16:25I'm giving you the full works.
16:27Just in case.
16:29In case of what?
16:30Nothing major.
16:31Just good to be across these things.
16:33Ouch!
16:34Sorry, if that hurt.
16:36Hey, no need to talk like that.
16:38Sit the hell down.
16:39Don't stand on it.
16:40You're going to rip your sutures.
16:41You heard the doctor.
16:42Sit down.
16:44Joy, I think Gia's got this.
16:45You want sepsis?
16:46Fine.
16:46Be my guest.
16:47She does care.
16:48She's in a bit of a mood.
16:49Can you just shut the hell up?
16:51Mate, you take over here, please.
16:53Gia, with me.
16:54You've been gone half the day,
16:56and now you're shouting at your patients?
16:58She wasn't listening to me.
16:59Yeah, sometimes they do that.
17:02Mom, will you tell your mother to go see your GP?
17:05No, that's fine.
17:06Mae's looking after her anyway.
17:08I expect better from you,
17:10especially since I'm doing you a favour
17:11letting your mum in here.
17:12So your obs are looking great, Teresa.
17:19Now, if I could just get rid of the feeling.
17:21Someone cut my chest open.
17:24That is on me, I'm afraid.
17:26But I can chuck you some pain relief.
17:29No, I'm good, thanks, love.
17:31No more feelings of dizziness, shortness of breath?
17:35Tickety-poo, thanks.
17:36And your daughter's gone?
17:37Oh, probably talking Dr Jonas' ear if I know Tracy.
17:41And then it'll be your turn.
17:43I don't know, love.
17:45Seems like that ship has sailed for me, doesn't it?
17:48Well, what we're working towards here
17:50is going to help future generations.
17:52You know, those who aren't born yet.
17:54How do you mean?
17:55Well, in my whānau, for example,
17:57we have a gene that causes heart problems.
18:00But we can screen the kids,
18:01and if they're test positive, we can intervene early.
18:04Okay.
18:05That's amazing.
18:07Yeah.
18:07And that's only possible because of people like you helping out.
18:10So Dr Jonas and I
18:12are pouring everything we have into this.
18:14Well,
18:14when you put it like that,
18:16I can't really say no, can I?
18:18Fantastic.
18:19I will let Cleo here
18:20talk you through the consent forms.
18:22I'm about to scrub in.
18:28Good.
18:29I'll see you tomorrow.
18:31But you're not staying.
18:33I know it's going to be a few hours,
18:35but we have plenty of space for you to wait in.
18:37I was discharged.
18:39And you said the odds of the surgery were very good.
18:40Yes, but...
18:42Look, I know this is hard, Michelle,
18:44but he's going to need you on the other side.
18:46He has you.
18:48I can't make milk for him if I'm not rested.
18:50Yes, but I'm not his mother.
18:55I'm not a bad person.
18:57I'm just trying to do what's best for everyone.
19:00No, no, you're not a bad person.
19:02I know that you're a very good person
19:03who cares about her child.
19:04I can see it.
19:05The baby needs you.
19:09He needs to hear your voice.
19:11He needs to feel you there.
19:12Look, I know he's only a few days old,
19:14but trust me, he knows.
19:18Okay.
19:19I'll stay.
19:27You're not much of a hugger, are you?
19:29Unfortunately not.
19:33I'll go wait upstairs.
19:35She's interesting.
19:43Yeah, she is.
19:45You should have seen what she ordered for lunch.
19:46A stick of butter with some pickled onions.
19:49Hmm.
19:50That's, uh...
19:51I guess pregnancy can do wild things to the body.
19:54I don't know.
19:55For a guy who's surrounded by pregnant women all day,
19:57you seem kind of clueless.
19:58Yeah, well, I am when it comes to you.
20:01She won't regret it.
20:03I hope not.
20:04Don't mess it up.
20:06No.
20:07Not this time.
20:12Knock, knock.
20:14Can I visit even though I'm a selfish jerk?
20:15I don't even really care at this point, Sage.
20:17I won't say long.
20:19I've just been thinking about what you're saying and you're right, you know?
20:22I have been selfish and I can see that now.
20:24I was just thinking about myself and my...
20:26and my gay or not dramas.
20:27So I was just a failed experiment?
20:30No, honestly.
20:31You were amazing and I was just confused.
20:34That's all.
20:34And having sex with me was so bad it made you gay?
20:37No, Bridget, you know that's not true.
20:39Isn't it?
20:39Because that's how you made me feel.
20:41I'm sorry.
20:41I really liked you.
20:42But when I was finally honest with myself, I knew I couldn't stay in Invercoggle or with
20:45you.
20:46So I left and I never looked back.
20:49But why?
20:51I guess I was reinventing myself and I'd already hurt you enough.
20:54Well, it hurt me even more, so nice one.
21:00Wait, are you okay?
21:01Are you serious?
21:02What is it?
21:03I'm in labour, you moron!
21:05Well, isn't someone doing something?
21:08Oh, Selina, thank God!
21:10Hey, Sage, I didn't realise you were on wards today.
21:12He's my ex.
21:14Okey-dokey, we listen and we don't judge.
21:18Just keep breathing, okay?
21:20Look, I've spoken to your obstetrician and he'll be by to see you soon.
21:23But one way or another, it's baby day today.
21:26Bloody Gary, I told her not to do this last contract, but no, now he's gonna miss...
21:31Yep, better get her in here.
21:35She's gonna need a CT.
21:40What?
21:42Uh, Joy's results are back.
21:43Okay, so she was intoxicated.
21:46There were low labels of alcohol in her blood.
21:48But, um, I cast a net wider.
21:51Why?
21:52I'm sorry, I just don't understand why you did that.
21:54Don't you think it was strange that she couldn't remember us finding her in the car park?
21:58Yeah, she was probably drunk.
22:00She wasn't, Gia.
22:02Well, then what?
22:02Tell me.
22:05Well, I checked with Emmett.
22:07He said we should assess for Vernika Korsakov.
22:09We think her alcohol abuse may have brought on a sort of dementia.
22:12It's not for sure, but...
22:13Yeah, I know what that means.
