A high-speed crash at a raceway leaves a young man struggling to cope with the consequences of his actions and Mike questioning the decision he makes to honour a dying patient's wish. Dan's life is gradually returning to a type of normal - until the police arrive wanting to talk to him about Erica.

Later, Frank calls Bart into his office with some tragic news that will change the ED forever. It's Jack's last day, but it's not smooth sailing. When a patient loses faith in him, Jack takes a leaf from his replacement's book and gets tough in order to convince the patient to accept life saving treatment.

Tragedy puts Erica and Dan's wedding at risk, with multiple traumas hitting the ED and Dan feeling responsible for the accident that brought them in. Dan feels helpless when a pre-wedding gag organised by his brother goes wrong and Dan finds himself tied to a tree while a horrific accident occurs right in front of him. Extricating himself from his bonds, Dan does his best to keep the casualties alive and calm while he waits for help. A woman has been badly injured and her husband's panic complicates Dan's attempts to assess and administer first aid to her. The van carrying the goons who "kidnapped" him is a mess and Dan has to rally the less injured drunks to help him

An horrific car accident is not the only reason behind Frank and Charlotte having to fight for a patient's life. Ann-Maree's health is deteriorating rapidly. Bart finds it impossible to be by her side until he can find some kind of answer to the awful request she made of him. Bart's attempts to throw himself into work backfire as he deals badly with a woman who is unable to make a commitment to her treatment. Mike, unable to work so soon after his kidney donation, gets under Frank's feet in the ED. Zoe is caught liaising with the Director of Medicine who is gunning for Frank's scalp. Has she accepted his offer to replace Frank as the Director of Emergency Medicine?

Frank is called to the dying Ann-Maree's bedside by Von who is very conscious of the fact that Bart is unable to say good-bye and give her permission to die. Frank tells Bart that he has to put his own needs out of the equation and that this is a battle that can't be won and is about being selfless. His words of advice will resonate with Frank once he realizes the danger his his battle with Admin is putting the ED in. Dan's plans to propose to Erica are ruined by the frenetic pace of the ED which also causes Erica to make a near fatal mistake when she is called away from an ICU patient for another emergency, causing the ICU patient's near death. Steve and Dan are kept busy in Resus with a patient who has a mysterious abdominal bleed. Jack is occupied by a mysterious Father Paul who he attempts to keep in the Psych Obs room until he can be seen. As the ED comes under more pressure from Admin, Frank makes a decision that will impact on all those around him.

A woman on the brink of marriage is revealed to have a shocking legacy from the past when her x-rays reveal not one but a number of needles embedded into her bowels and other organs. Von helps an elderly man make a decision about his future after his wife is admitted to the ED suffering from Alzheimer's and advanced pneumonia. Jack and Bart try to help a previous patient [ep 10.23] but it soon becomes apparent that their original treatment might be the cause of her current pain and nothing they can do now will take that pain away. At day's end, Frank pays Charlotte a visit, determined to motivate her to fight Rhiannon's accusation but instead finding her ready to give up and walk away.

Frank's niece Amy starts work in the ED and makes a mistake which has tragic consequences for a patient. While treating a farmer brought into the ED after a tractor accident, Steve and Mike both go down with a mystery illness forcing Frank to take over an emergency surgery. Elsewhere, Erica looks after a young English woman dying from cystic fibrosis. Erica, Von and Bart try desperately to keep Stella alive long enough for her to be able to give her parents a final goodbye. Dan's pre-wedding night is ruined when he is witness to a tragedy.

Three young adults land in Emergency after a house party, all suffering different symptoms. Can the All Saints team discover the cause before it's too late? Dan attempts to conceal his fears about Erica's disappearance by throwing himself into work helping Mike remove a nail from a man's hand. But that may prove harder than expected. When the rest of the team learns of Erica's disappearance they search for ways they can help Dan through this difficult time.

Jack's ability to function as a doctor is called into question when Frank gives him an ultimatum. After going on a fruitless search for Erica with Bart, Dan is forced to face the possibility that something terrible has happened to his wife. Steve has to apologise to another doctor after he accuses him of medical negligence, unaware that he shares a past with Von. Mike has to face the possibility that Juliet is hiding something from him.

When Amy puts her foot in it with a heavily-disfigured patient, she feels the entire department is against her. A charming eccentric who's gambled with his life by self-medicating forces Jack to make a decision that has dire consequences. A new computer system complicates operations in the ED. Mike has bitten the bullet and phoned Juliet — whom he barely knows — for a date. A big gesture, considering she's now in Melbourne. Their initial nerves at what's almost a blind date soon vanish but just as they're about to move to a quieter venue to get to know each other even better, a drug-fuelled glassing incident between two socialite brats claims Mike's talents as a doctor. The incident effectively ends Mike's date with Juliet. Or does it…?

In the aftermath of the siege, Frank finds himself under fire from Admin for his comments to the media. The ED team are confronted by the arrival of one of their captors after a police shooting. Charlotte and Dan are challenged by a woman with a chronic case of hiccups, Jack and Erica deal with an uncommunicative beating victim, Von struggles to come to terms with her feelings about the hostage taking, and a mistake in pathology results puts patients at risk.

Zoe, Jack and Dan fight to save the life of a young burns victim, having no idea how complex the situation will get when his mother arrives in the ED and asks them not to take further action to actively resuscitate him. Charlotte and Gabrielle struggle to unravel the mystery of a young woman who presents with severe stomach pain. Frank is summoned to a meeting with Admin. The ED Staff wait anxiously to learn the outcome of their collective agreement to strike. Dan awaits the results of his tests. He tells Erica that he won't repeat the treatment if the results are still positive for Hep C. Bart, Von and Frank attend Ann-Maree's funeral.

Von is approached for help in the Hospital car park but when she finds herself in an abandoned tram factory, she has reason to regret her decision. She finds a pregnant woman in labour, a husband who fears the repercussions of their discovery, and a Government worker willing to risk it all to do the right thing — and Von can't walk away. Frank and Bart try to save the life of a woman who believes her husband will never forgive her for involving their son in a car accident. Steve and Mike treat a man who has been gored by a wild animal and has survived 36 hours in bushland. Jack helps Charlotte decide how to fight the allegations made against her. Zoe has news for Frank about her career.

Bart tries to find comfort and distraction in work only to come up against one of the most difficult challenges he's had to face.

Mike, Jack and Erica attempt to help a man whose foolish attempt to impress his much younger wife has left him at risk of becoming a paraplegic. Charlotte and Zoe work well together while treating a reluctant hero, causing problems for Frank, who has been handed an unpleasant ultimatum from Admin. Steve, Bart and Gabrielle fight to save the life of a man who, along with his dim-witted brother, traffics highly unusual goods. Dan attempts to keep his mind on the job as his father's life hangs in the balance in another hospital.

Charlotte is forced to contemplate her future at All Saints when she learns that there's no room for her there as a Fellow in the ED, as long as Zoe has that job. Bart, Erica and Steve struggle to care for a man suffering from an apparent psychotic break down. Having bonded with Charlotte during a patient's care, Rhiannon misreads the situation and makes a move on Charlotte, which Charlotte politely pulls out of. Rhiannon takes it badly and her fears that the truth will be discovered, leading her to a decision that could end Charlotte's career. When Jack, Zoe, Mike and Gabrielle disagree on treatment for what might be the world's longest splinter, Zoe finds herself alienated by Frank for the second time that day when he sides against her. After attending his father's funeral without her, Dan has bad news for Erica — he's invited his mother and brother to move in.

When two victims of an armed robbery are brought in, the All Saints team are pushed to the limit. Already two nurses down, it's all hands on deck. Mike, Charlotte and Gabrielle deal with Rohan, a store owner who has been shot twice during the hold-up. When his condition spirals out of control, Charlotte and Mike debate how to best keep him alive. Meanwhile, the other hold-up victim is medically fine but his mind keeps replaying the hold-up. Steve and Dan assume he's just suffering from shock. But when the real story comes out it catches both of them by surprise and makes Dan reassess how he's dealing with Erica's disappearance. A woman brings in her twenty-five year old son. He's suffering from cellulitis. He also has a mental age of four, caused by a motor vehicle accident twenty years ago. Due to the lack of nurses, Von offers to help Bart for the day. Von quickly takes in the situation — while the cellulitis isn't serious it's clear the mother isn't coping. But can Von provide the extra support the mother needs before she chooses a more drastic solution? Jack, feeling gun-shy after the internal investigation last week, opts to take Triage. Frank is on to him immediately. Jack's lost his nerve. Amy comes in to finalise her resignation, giving Frank the opportunity to restore his relationship with his niece.

Bart is annoyed when his patient, Roz, admits that she is faking symptoms. But Roz does have a real problem; her husband. She is deeply concerned about her husband, Ken, and his recent very odd behaviour. Ken refuses to admit to a problem. Roz felt this was the only way to get a Doctor to examine him.

Bart takes his concerns to Frank, who puts the pieces together, and comes up with an appalling and tragic diagnosis.

When Laszlo, a middle aged man and professional Skydiver, arrives at All Saints after a skydiving accident, the team are expecting the worst. It soon transpires that Mike has a very dim view of skydivers, and the deliberate dangers they submit themselves to. But when Mike discovers Laszlo, like himself, was born to European, post WWII immigrants, is also unmarried and is as single mindedly focused on his profession, he begins to feel a bond to the man. Laszlo believes that he has almost complete control over his destiny, but when things take an alarming turn for the worse medically, he is forced to put his trust in Mike. Meanwhile, Dan and Erica return from their honeymoon to find things tense and awkward between Gabrielle and Jack while Bart seeks to mend fences with Amy, seeing her in a new light as she deals with a difficult patient.
