RTE

Episode 1 - Lauren McKenzie - RTE

However, the pair learn there is a new claim from two of Cathy's most devoted patients, which could cost their insurance company hundreds of thousands. Both Cathy and Dan are worried, but on further investigation, Cathy suspects that their claim is spurious. In the meantime Dan has hired his own personal PA, Cara Madigan (Dawn Bradfield) but has given her strict instructions not to help out the daily running of the Clinic leaving Aine and Daisy struggling to keep things under control. But as tensions mount between Dan and Cathy, the receptionists storm out of the office as a result of all the bickering. The clinic's physiotherapist, Keelin is concerned when her boyfriend Ronan insists that he needs to talk to her urgently. When she arrives to the restaurant she's thrilled when Ronan proposes to her. However, their celebrations are cut short when Keelin's sister Rhiannon is arrested for shop lifting and Keelin feels obliged to let her move in with her for a while. Clodagh is impressed with the new addition to the practice, Jack Laverty, an ex-doctor turned life-coach. She invites him out for a drink to celebrate signing her first contract as a GP but is disappointed when he turns her down. Cathy is horrified when she learns that her father has left his share of the practice to his secret partner of five years, Dr. Julia Brad. Dan, however, is thrilled by the news as he knows that Cathy's plan to oust him has failed and that his share in the Clinic is secure.
Episode 3 - John Moloney - RTE
Liam Smith is introduced as the new nurse and his first day is very difficult. Cara fails to listen to Liam when he tells her he needs help removing a patient's stitches. Instead she hands him bigger gloves that won't fit over Liam's bandaged hand. Cara also fills Liam in on Áine's situation. Dan blames Liam for talking his patient Caroline Donnell out of getting rhynoplasty. Cathy is unimpressed when she has to take over from Liam who is using a blood pressure monitor he hasn't used before. Cathy warns Liam to be careful what he says to his patients after Dan complains about his rhynoplasty patient. Keelin is annoyed when Rhiannon disturbs her day by arriving too early for bridesmaid shopping. Keelin is thankful to Clodagh when she diffuses the situation by taking Rhiannon with her. Keelin later has a go at Clodagh for rewarding Rhiannon'S bad behaviour by buying her designer jeans. Áine is furious that Cara revealed her private business to Liam and announces in reception she has split up from Billy. Clodagh sends her patient Shane Hunter to Liam to demonstrate how to inject himself using a water pen. Liam injects Shane with insulin causing him to go hypo. Liam swears there was no note on the file but Cara backs up Clodagh. Clodagh later apologises to Liam after she finds the note on the floor. Julia agrees to take a look at Sinead after Cathy makes it very clear she is important to the Clinic. Julia argues with Dan over firing Liam, believing him to be an asset to the Clinic.

Keelin, with the help of her father, decides to follow Ronan to New York to give their relationship a second chance. Jack annoys Daisy by implying her career is below her and she asks him why he's always at her? Julia apologises to Cathy for saying her father didn't trust her judgement.

A rejected Clodagh tells Nicola she wants nothing to do with her and returns home to her parents. Aine is nervous about collecting Tommy from the crèche but is thrilled when he runs into her arms. Daisy is shocked when out drinking Conor kisses her. Cathy defends Daisy when Julia complains she treats reception as an extension of her social life. Julia, witnessing Clodagh upset, tells her that any mother would be proud to have her as a daughter.

When Bernie tells him he was not at fault, Patrick turns on her accusing her of being needy and crowding him. Clodagh has had enough with her acupuncture patients and tells Julia she would like to concentrate on her General Practice. Julia warns her not to make a rash decision. Daisy is clearly uncomfortable around Jack and calls him a creep under her breath. Cathy is puzzled by the way Dan is acting and agrees to meet him for lunch. When Cathy doesn't show because of the Conor drama, Dan leaves a nasty message on her mobile. Dan is called by Patrick into the hospital and performs an escharotomy on Conor's arm. Liam teaches his son, Ian, a lesson after he had a few beers and fell over drunk. Liam acts swiftly with Conor and is praised by Cathy.

Cathy is surprised when Julia agrees to take her patient, Rose Hammmond that afternoon. Cara compliments Liam on being the hero of the hour earlier and Liam responds that it makes a nice change from being a villain. Aine tells Daisy it is no trouble if she wants to go to the hospital but it takes Cara's persuasion who reassures Daisy that Conor self harming was not her fault.
Episode 8 - Ian Power - RTE
Daisy thinks she may have been a cause of Conor's break up with his girlfriend, Siobhán, as well as his accident, after Siobhán warns Daisy to stay away from him. Cara tells Daisy that she didn't give Conor the wrong signals. Patrick reassures Daisy she's not to blame for what happened with Conor and needs to talk to him. Daisy talks to Conor and is relieved his self harming had nothing to do with her. Daisy is finding Jack increasingly inappropriate and tries to tell him his behaviour bothers her but Jack thinks he is only having a laugh. Unable to make him listen to her, Daisy feels she has no choice and complains about his behaviour to Cathy who is shocked. Cathy decides to refer it to Julia believing it is sexual harassment. Dan is no longer able to keep his devastation about his AVM to himself and walks out of the Clinic straight into the first bar he finds. Cathy ends up picking up the pieces and is stunned when he tells her he is ill. Cathy kisses Dan and they finally reveal their real feelings for one another. Clodagh apologises to Cathy for not telling her she has stopped taking acupuncture patients and tells an annoyed Cathy that Julia has been a great support. Julia lets Cathy know that she spoke to Clodagh but told her not to make any rash decisions. Julia is surprised when Cathy calls a truce by asking Julia to be a pregnant Sinead's obstetrician. Julia explains gently to Rose Hammond that the doctors performed a symphysiotomy on her at the birth of her daughter. Rose is shocked. Liam has a ten-year-old patient, Dermot who is faking illness to avoid going to his brothers' matches, feeling he is not as good as them. Daisy speaks to him, helping him solve his problems. Patrick tells Cathy that Bernie makes him feel out of control, but Cathy remarks that she also makes him feel alive.
Episode 9 - John Moloney - RTE
Jack launches his new book on the Ryan Tubridy radio show but later when he returns to work he is shocked to learn that Daisy has accused him of sexual harassment. Unable to help himself, Jack publicly tackles Daisy about her allegation creating a spectacle in reception. Daisy feels foolish when Jack challenges her and is afraid she won't be taken seriously. Jack is embarrassed when he eventually hears Daisy's reasons for the accusation and apologises but later tells Daisy he won't forget it. The accusation takes its toll on his private life and Jack is shocked when his fiancée Ann-Marie reveals her true feelings about his career. He feels he has no option but to ask her to leave. Julia must deal with Daisy's allegation in as a discreet and swift a manner as possible and pulls Jack up on his behaviour after confronting Daisy. Cathy is shocked when Dan tells her he is not having the operation and pretends it has nothing to do with her anyway. Cathy is upset to learn of Paddy Stapleton's death but refuses to accept a cheque from Mrs Stapleton for the remainder of the money she gave to the Stapletons. Dan is thrilled when he discovers the cheque wasn't a settlement, meaning Cathy didn't pay them off in a ruthless manner. Dan explains to Cathy why he has no one to turn to, telling her he has nothing to do with his family. Cathy assures him she is there for him. Patrick apologises to Bernie, explaining he needs to be in control of his emotions to prevent his impulse to drink. Bernie isn't sure she can forgive him. Patrick is thrilled when Bernie eventually agrees to give them another chance as long as he promises never to treat her like that again. Clodagh, Aine and Cara all try to be sympathetic towards Daisy although Clodagh is torn because of her attraction to Jack.
