Dan's grief over Cathy's death is overshadowed by his obsession with hearing that Niall Boylan will escape relatively free from a serious conviction. Dan's solicitor warns Dan to stay away from Niall.

Meanwhile, new locum Dr Grace Sefate makes an impact on her first day when her belongings turn up before her unceremoniously dumped in reception by an aggrieved lover. This unusual entrance immediately gives Grace an air of intrigue but she immediately asserts herself as a capable and dedicated doctor.

This strikes a resonant chord with Clodagh.

Patrick is baffled when a 17-year-old boy claiming to be his son is admitted to St. Matthew's after a mugging.
