00:00Previously on Shortland Street. Can I go to my room now?
00:02Take a seat over here. Might be a bit of a wait.
00:04I need an orange band.
00:06Holly?
00:07Crane! I need help!
00:09She's cold.
00:17Eminem?
00:19What a load of crap.
00:21A morbidity and mortality meeting is standard protocol.
00:24It doesn't mean that they're going to take any kind of discipline reaction against you.
00:28Why would they?
00:28OK, I understand what happened yesterday was sad, but it wasn't your fault.
00:32Yeah. Crane never should have had you triaging on your own.
00:35It was chaos, OK? If anyone's to blame...
00:37Oh, shut up! You don't even know what you're talking about!
00:41We're just trying to help.
00:42Yeah? Well, don't!
00:46Hey.
00:47Thanks for the shower.
00:49Thanks for the last night.
00:50Hmm. You're welcome.
00:51So, I've got some free time before work.
00:53Want to get some breaky? Mush out?
00:57Um...
00:58Nah, yeah, yeah. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
01:00I just thought this was just casual.
01:03Yeah, I was kidding.
01:04Because...
01:05Cuply stuff's not really my thing.
01:07Yeah.
01:07Same.
01:09OK.
01:09Great.
01:11Just piss off then, and I'll see you when I see you.
01:14Can I have my coffee first?
01:16Nah.
01:17Yeah, of course. Sorry.
01:19Actually, I just remembered I don't drink plunger, so...
01:24Oh!
01:24Well, I can always put the jug on it.
01:26Bye, Billy.
01:32OK, so hypothetically, what rights would a donor have if they were suddenly to develop parental ambitions?
01:39The fact we got through it with only one fatality was remarkable.
01:43Well, every department really stepped up.
01:44Is that what Paul's making you say to the media?
01:46No, the family's devastated.
01:48The less we say about that right now, the better.
01:50Well, we can't say nothing.
01:52She was killed by a ball.
01:53She died due to injuries caused by an explosion.
01:56There's your press statement.
01:57I know you don't like Paul.
01:58It's not that...
02:00Then what is it?
02:02Speaking of the devil.
02:03I'd like a word with you.
02:05Sure.
02:06Can we catch up after the M&M?
02:08Mm-hmm.
02:10Look, I know yesterday was distressing.
02:13It was.
02:13And I'm sorry for taking it out on you.
02:15OK.
02:16This friction between us is not productive.
02:19Agreed.
02:20You don't understand my vision.
02:21And why would you?
02:22This is my first hospital, so maybe the vision doesn't gel with reality.
02:26Glad you realised that.
02:27If anything, yesterday proved to me how little I know about what you and everyone else here does on the
02:33day-to-day.
02:34It's really affected you, then.
02:35Enough to see that we're in this together.
02:37So let's keep talking, yeah?
02:38I've got some big plans that I want you across.
02:40OK.
02:41I'd love to hear them.
02:42Awesome.
02:42I'll get you the details.
02:44Great chat, big guy.
02:48I just want someone to explain to me how Holly was triaged as a green
02:52with minor injuries only to die from a brain...
02:54I know, you had to connect...
02:55Only to die from a brain hemorrhage.
02:57In your department, on your watch.
02:59Marty, it was mayhem.
03:01Even under normal circumstances, it would have been a tricky diagnosis.
03:04It's not good enough.
03:05Not when a 14-week-old baby has been left without her mother.
03:08That family deserves answers.
03:10You're right.
03:11And that's why we're conducting a morbidity and mortality meeting.
03:14Whoever's responsible will be held account.
03:16When?
03:17This morning.
03:19Good.
03:22Whoever's responsible.
03:24It's standard procedure.
03:25Cindy is already beating herself up.
03:27Given her involvement, that's understandable.
03:29OK, Sophia, please.
03:30She is still...
03:31She is so new to nursing.
03:33Something like this could destroy her career before it's even properly started.
03:36Well, a woman is dead, and I'm failing to see the equivalence.
03:39You know it's not that simple.
03:41But can you just...
03:42Can you hold off?
03:43We can talk things through, and then maybe...
03:45What good is talking going to do?
03:46We can't change the circumstances.
03:48What is this actually about?
03:50Doing the right thing.
04:03About my job.
04:04Either you're ahead of surgery or you're resigning?
04:06No.
04:07Really?
04:08I'm not going anywhere.
04:10Or I could just fire you.
04:11But you won't.
04:26What are you doing?
04:28Shh.
04:29He's sleeping.
04:29Oh, so he can't consent to this insanity.
04:32Go away.
04:33Drop the swamp, Poppy.
04:35Oh.
04:36Oh.
04:41What is your problem?
04:42The way you were acting is cursed.
04:43And yes, I know that is rich coming from me, but you are.
04:45A DNA test is the only way I can find out if he's my real dad.
04:48He is not your dad.
04:50God, imagine that.
04:51Yeah, I am.
04:52And I hate it.
04:53You'd be so much more righteous.
04:54Don't talk about him like that.
04:56I'd be talking about everything as well, not just work.
04:58He already involves himself in my relationship.
04:59Oh my God, stop complaining.
05:01Okay, you clearly would not appreciate him as your father, so just stay away from him.
05:07Nasa.
05:10No, you can't do this.
05:11I'm sorry.
05:12Starting from next week, Esther will resume her duties as head of surgery.
05:16She left.
05:17My contract isn't as temporary cover.
05:19It's full time.
05:20I'm aware, and we'll sort that out with HR and the legal team.
05:23Thank you for taking care of everything while I'm Scott.
05:27If you think I'm going to take this without a fight, you're sorely mistaken.
05:30I promise we'll take care of you.
05:32You're still a senior consultant.
05:34I handled the crisis yesterday as best I could.
05:37It's not because of the bombing.
05:38I can't fault your performance or your work ethic.
05:42Then why are you demoting me?
05:44Esther is a better fit.
05:45Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting to get to.
05:49I can't believe you let us stay over.
05:51Rookie move, man.
05:52Wow, it was all good.
05:53Grow a backbone.
05:54You don't want her getting too comfortable.
05:55Okay, so if Libby was in your bed half asleep, you'd just kick her out?
05:59Of course.
06:00Whatever.
06:01Yeah, I'll just say I've got to get up early and sleeping next to her is too distracting.
06:04Wow, okay.
06:05It's too easy, man.
06:08What's too easy?
06:09Uh, nothing.
06:11Okay, um, what time are we having dinner tonight?
06:13Oh, didn't know we had plans.
06:15For my birthday.
06:17Happy birthday.
06:18How old are you turning?
06:19Oh, no, don't say it.
06:21Uh-huh.
06:22Um, so what time are you scheduled to finish?
06:25Oh, well, dinner's not going to work for me in theatre till late.
06:28But I thought we...
06:29See you, bro.
06:33You okay?
06:34Yeah, absolutely.
06:35It'd be fun to have a girls' night anyway.
06:37He'll probably end up surprising me with something special.
06:43Did you give Holly Wadham's any medical attention?
06:48No.
06:49But you were the one who triaged her as green?
06:52Yeah.
06:53Look, we were completely overrun.
06:56Cindy was dealing with an onslaught of patients.
06:58And Holly had no overt symptoms that would suggest she was at risk of hemorrhaging.
07:02Did you assess the patient at all?
07:04No, I was in the...
07:05Then right now I need to hear from the people who did.
07:09It was a difficult day, but the fact is, a person has died.
07:13And the family deserve accountability.
07:16Did Holly request any medical attention from you or anyone else?
07:23Cindy?
07:26I've hobbed her off.
07:28What?
07:29I put her head off.
07:31I thought she was complaining over nothing, but maybe that was her way of telling me she wasn't feeling good.
07:38If I had stopped, maybe I...
07:41You can't change what happened.
07:42There were other higher priority patients.
07:45But none of them are dead.
07:48We're going to have to take disciplinary action.
07:52Like a...
07:54But in warning?
07:55We'll need to go to the nursing council.
07:57A patient was refused treatment.
07:59That's not what she said.
08:00It was my fault.
08:02I instructed Nurse Tertorga to speed up her triaging.
08:05That's why the patient was inadequately banded.
08:08And in my initial assessment of Ms. Wadham's...
08:10Right, that...
08:11That's enough from you.
08:13In my initial assessment of Ms. Wadham's, I saw no reason for concern.
08:17In hindsight, I may have misconstrued the early signs of her hemorrhage, attributing them to evidence of an entitled attitude.
08:23It was a severe error on my part, and I take full responsibility.
08:28Right.
08:30Well, in that case, you and I need to talk about next steps.
08:34No need.
08:36I'm resigning.
08:37What?
08:38Effective immediately.
08:41This is the last thing I need right now.
08:43Well, if anyone can turn Crane around, it's you.
08:46I think I've lost my touch.
08:47I doubt that.
08:49You're in a bizarrely good mood.
08:51I think I've had a breakthrough with Paul.
08:54What a relief.
08:55I don't think I could see another day of your one-sided war with him.
08:58One-sided?
09:01Oh, what's this?
09:02Your future.
09:03You're joking.
09:04Not at all.
09:05What happened to changing your vision?
09:08Working together?
09:09Vision costs money, Chris.
09:10And Fitburger, Shorland Street.
09:11No!
09:13I was thinking too small with the sponsored scrubs.
09:15Now we're going to be able to afford everything the hospital needs.
09:18More doctors, more nurses, more life-saving tech.
09:20More bullshit!
09:23Not helpful, Chris.
09:24Get back to me when you've got solutions.
09:30Rachel couldn't even give me a reason.
09:32And the way she just declared it with Esther standing right there.
09:34Yeah, I mean, she could have at least bothered to pull me into her office.
09:36It's pretty disrespectful.
09:38It's diabolical.
09:39I mean, they think that, well, I'm just going to politely step aside and let Esther take my job from
09:42underneath me.
09:42Well, technically, you took it off her first, but...
09:44She left.
09:45For good reason.
09:47I'm going to contact an employment lawyer.
09:48At least make it difficult for them.
09:49Okay, you do that.
09:51Well, I wouldn't mind a bit more support.
09:53Well, I wouldn't have minded you showing up for the scan today.
09:57Oh, Mum, I am so sorry.
09:58That's okay.
09:59I'll just leave you to call in your fleet of lawyers.
10:02No, Mum.
10:02Mum, just wait.
10:03Please, Mum.
10:09Chocolate are clear.
10:10Chocolate are clear?
10:11I don't know.
10:12They might have one in the bakery.
10:17What's the update from B.D.?
10:19All under control.
10:21Excuse me.
10:23Shoe.
10:24Sage.
10:25Don't try and get all cute and cozy with him.
10:26I know you just want him for a resettlement.
10:27I know, Em.
10:28It's like a dad to you.
10:30Yes.
10:30And?
10:31Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he really was my bio dad.
10:34Bio dad?
10:35Come on, Poppy.
10:36You're making this your whole personality right now and it's super cringe.
10:38Sage, if I am actually his daughter, it doesn't mean he's just going to stop loving you.
10:43Are you aware of how, like, unhinged you sound right now?
10:45Okay?
10:46By the stories that your mum tells, your dad's more likely to be Hugh Grant than Emmett.
10:49She went to the Notting Hill premiere and that is the whole of the story.
10:53Anyway, shut up, okay?
10:54This doesn't actually even concern you.
10:55Emmett is my responsibility.
10:57Yeah, only because you let him push Bonnie away and now me.
11:00You're so desperate for his approval, you can't see that you are isolating him.
11:04I am not desperate.
11:05And what you're doing with Selena.
11:07Oh, I suppose you want to try and steal my baby now too.
11:09You are just the sperm donor, okay?
11:11You are not going to be the dad.
11:12Shut up!
11:13Yes, I am!
11:13Maybe you want to double check that.
11:26How long have you been planning to resign for?
11:29It wasn't planned.
11:32Okay, so you just quit your job on pure impulse, without even giving me a heads up.
11:37Let's not make this more complicated than it needs to be.
11:41Right.
11:42So that's it, is it?
11:46You know how I feel about you, Maeve.
11:47Okay, so is this even what you want?
11:49Or are you doing this for Astrid?
11:50It's better this way, cleaner.
11:53For you?
11:55For both of us.
12:02Where's your badge?
12:03Oh, it must have fallen off.
12:06Hey, how are things with Alu?
12:08Great, why wouldn't they be?
12:09Did he say something?
12:10No, nothing.
12:11Just thought he might have upset you before.
12:13No.
12:14I'm fine.
12:16He's just not big on PDA, but he's super sweet behind the scenes.
12:19See?
12:21HBX, what's that?
12:23Happy birthday kiss.
12:24A love language is acronyms.
12:27That's cute, yeah.
12:28Yeah, it is, right?
12:30Just wish he wasn't working late tonight.
12:32Yeah, yeah.
12:33Vending machine dinners in the scrubby aren't much fun.
12:37Hey, how was the scan?
12:40Yeah, fine.
12:41Not long to go now.
12:42Well, it's good you guys got things sorted out in time.
12:45Yeah, everything's working out for the best.
12:48Well, you're so best if I'm taking my job.
12:51What?
12:52You think I should just let her have it?
12:54No.
12:54What, with everything she's putting you through with the kids and...
12:57Sorry, I know there's a separate issue to say.
13:00No, no, no.
13:00I just...
13:01I think you've got more important things going on in your life than who's HOD.
13:11Really?
13:12I'm not talking about that.
13:13So you knew.
13:14Of course I did.
13:15I'm the CEO.
13:16You're the CEO.
13:17Yeah, I get it.
13:18So how can you not see this as a problem?
13:20Because I have real problems.
13:22Finding a new head of ED to replace Crane overnight.
13:25That is a problem.
13:26Convincing Nazar to be happy with his unceremonious demotion so he doesn't suddenly quit.
13:31Another problem.
13:32I'm not trying to diminish any of that.
13:34Chris, please, get a grip.
13:40Hey, Naz said everything's good.
13:42He did?
13:43With the scan.
13:44Was he not meant to?
13:45Oh, yeah, no.
13:45Yeah, sorry.
13:46It's just all so crazy.
13:48Still feeling pretty daunted, then?
13:51You have no idea.
13:53Hey, would it be weird if I...
13:55I mean, like, everything is weird at this point, Marty.
13:59Touch the thunderdome.
14:04Hey.
14:06You better be extra nice to your mum, okay?
14:08You cut us some slack when you're out the other side.
14:11Or you'll have me to answer to.
14:13Like you could ever be scary.
14:15I can turn on a dime, Mum.
14:18Oh, Marty.
14:20How is this me?
14:22You know I'm here for you, right?
14:25Yeah.
14:28Do you get it?
14:28Yeah.
14:31It's a face like thunder.
14:33Yeah.
14:35What are you doing here?
14:36Oh, it's good to see you, too.
14:39I am meeting Izzy for lunch.
14:41You do know that this area is off-limits to visitors?
14:44Well, you've got to tell on me.
14:47Oh, what the hell is Fitburger?
14:50Mass-produced junk food masquerading as something healthy.
14:54I'm surprised we don't have one at Central already.
14:57What?
14:59I'm the only one who sees this as a herald of the apocalypse.
15:03Okay, drama.
15:04So I'm overreacting.
15:05Well, you want to stop this crap from happening?
15:07Yes.
15:08Well, then go old school.
15:09Find people who hate it as much as you do and fight it together.
15:13Protest.
15:13Why not?
15:15I will help you make a sign and a catchy chant.
15:18Okay, I'm ready.
15:19Let's eat.
15:21Would you like to join us?
15:23I promise.
15:24None of us poxy burgers.
15:25Oh, thanks.
15:28I'll catch you up.
15:33Right.
15:33I still need to finalise things with Esther,
15:36but I've come up with a plan.
15:37It's slightly convoluted, borderline ridiculous,
15:40but in theory, it should keep everyone happy.
15:42I'm not interested.
15:43Just hear me out.
15:44I don't want to lose you if I can help it.
15:46Esther can have the job.
15:47What?
15:48I'm about to become a father.
15:49My focus needs to be on my family right now.
15:52You're right.
15:52Esther's more suited for them.
15:53You don't even want to hear the plan?
15:55I've been working on all afternoon.
15:56No.
15:57Excuse me.
15:59You shouldn't have done that.
16:01I'm the one that messed up with Holly.
16:03I'm why she's dead.
16:05She's dead because someone planted an explosive at her gym.
16:08But I could have helped her.
16:10And I didn't.
16:13This doesn't fall squarely on you.
16:16I could have helped her too.
16:17You lied.
16:19You didn't even look at her.
16:20I was there the whole time.
16:22Yes.
16:23Alone.
16:24You needed support and I failed to provide it.
16:26Well, then do that next time.
16:28Don't leave because of me.
16:29It doesn't make any sense.
16:30You are not why I'm leaving.
16:31But I let you down.
16:33Nurses with twice as much experience
16:35would have struggled in the same scenario.
16:39Your performance was excellent.
16:41You should be proud of yourself.
16:43No.
16:45I am.
16:49You can't save everyone, Te Tōka.
16:52I can try.
16:55And that's why you're a fine nurse.
17:00How have you not gone mental from this job?
17:04Well, eventually you learn to know when to cut your losses.
17:08Step away.
17:10No offence.
17:12But that's just not the buzz for me, eh?
17:16You'll find what works for you.
17:19Sorry, we can come back.
17:20I was just heading out.
17:30So now goodbye, then.
17:33Are you seriously surprised?
17:35What are you guys up to?
17:37Uh, well, we thought that we'd watch a movie at home tonight.
17:42Chicken run, too?
17:43We can pull all the mattresses out.
17:44We can get some pizza.
17:46You guys won't get annoyed if I do all the chicken voices?
17:50No, you've got to pass.
17:51Yeah, but only for tonight.
17:54Oh, you guys.
18:02Poppy.
18:04Poppy, shouldn't you have a rabid sage nipping at your heels?
18:08He's juggling patience.
18:09With Crane quitting, it's all a bit hectic.
18:11Oh, she's really jumping ship, eh?
18:13Yeah, might be a bit more to it.
18:15Oh, well, either way, she's leaving the door open for me, so I'm happy.
18:18You should be down there, shouldn't you?
18:20Yeah, I'm on a break.
18:22Uh, I wanted to talk.
18:24Hey, I'm not hassling you.
18:25Hey, you're no slack.
18:26You remind me of myself when I was a second year, Reg.
18:29When I get stuck into everything.
18:31Yeah.
18:32Hey, look, I know you've got to go, but before you do, can you grab me a can of ginger
18:35ale?
18:36My guts are feeling a bit off, and it's the only thing...
18:38The only thing that settles it.
18:40Yeah, same.
18:42Poppy?
18:44Emma, I think you're my dad.
18:46Oh, my God.
18:47Sorry?
18:48You're my dad.
18:49It all tracks.
18:50You and Mum are blood types, the ginger ale?
18:53Poppy.
18:54Mariana and me are...
18:57Look, she's a special kind of lady.
18:58No one could deny that, but I don't think even she could be pregnant for 15, 16 months.
19:04It doesn't add up.
19:06So you've thought about it too?
19:08You don't want me to be your dad, kid.
19:10Look at how I bungle things with the kid I really do have.
19:12You've done all right.
19:14Shit dad's better than no dad.
19:16I'm sorry you never got to know your real dad.
19:19But if he could see how you turned out, I know he'd be proud of you.
19:23If you were my daughter, I'd be telling everyone about you.
19:31What am I looking at exactly?
19:33These are people associated with the hospital, opposed to the Fitburger opening,
19:37who will boycott it if it goes ahead.
19:39You need to let this go.
19:40I tried to talk to you, you wouldn't listen.
19:42You couldn't even wait a hold.
19:43We can't put our trust in these big corporations.
19:46Wow.
19:46Start a podcast.
19:48Have you learned nothing from what David did with Lynch at the fertility clinic?
19:52Paul is finding innovative ways...
19:54Innovative is a stretch.
19:56Chris, aren't you tired of constantly fighting?
19:59We're not fighting.
20:00We're discussing a work issue.
20:01Right now it's Fitburger.
20:03Before that it was Paul's cutouts.
20:05And before that it was plain old Paul.
20:07You are intentionally seeking out problems where there aren't any.
20:10Rachel, this is important.
20:11How can you not see that?
20:13Okay, sure, it's important.
20:15But I am exhausted.
20:19Oh, okay.
20:21Crisis averted.
20:22What crisis?
20:23Family drama.
20:23Not ours though.
20:24Sage, babe, I'm not even pregnant yet.
20:26And you're already thinking about using someone to give a little money for a newborn photo shoot?
20:29Because same girl.
20:30Sage?
20:31Hey, nobody has to know.
20:32Oh my god.
20:33Sage, look, I am thankful for what you're giving me.
20:36You know, offering to be my donor.
20:37It means the world.
20:38Okay, I've seen enough CW shows to know that you're about to ruin my day.
20:41So just spit it out.
20:43Okay, being the donor doesn't make you the dad.
20:45I don't want to co-parent.
20:46With me?
20:47Like, at all.
20:48And I'm sorry I didn't make that clear.
20:50No, no, no.
20:50It's fine.
20:51I mean, who doesn't love being reduced to just sperm on legs?
20:53Look, I still want you involved in this kid's life.
20:55Just as more of an uncle.
20:58I actually have more than my fair share of niblings, so I'm good.
21:08What's all this?
21:10Oh, it's for my birthday dinner.
21:11Sure as hell beats vending machine snacks in the scrub room.
21:14Wow, you did all this for Arlo.
21:16It's your birthday.
21:17Do you think you'll like it?
21:18I tried to check the schedule when he'll be out of surgery, but...
21:21He's gone.
21:22What?
21:23You know what?
21:24Maybe I made a mistake.
21:24I'll just double check for you.
21:25No, it's okay.
21:28I'm sure he meant to tell you.
21:29Yeah, probably.
21:32Do you want some salmon?
21:33Oh, I'm good, thanks.
21:45Maeve!
21:47You didn't do anything wrong!
21:49I know.
21:51You deserve a proper explanation.
21:53Really?
21:54Yes.
21:56I owe you one.
21:57Before you run away.
22:00You know it's not that simple.
22:02But I think it's the right thing.
22:06Because you won't leave your wife?
22:09I can't.
22:11So then what do you want from me?
22:13Because we're not together and you have no intention to stay, so what do you want?
22:24I love you.
22:29I...
22:29It's okay.
22:33Thanks for letting me say it this time.
22:46Goodbye, Maeve.
22:48Goodbye, Maeve.
22:52Goodbye, Maeve.
22:54Goodbye, Maeve.
22:57Goodbye, Maeve.
22:59Goodbye, Maeve.
22:59Goodbye, Maeve.
23:02Goodbye, Maeve.
23:03Goodbye, Maeve.
