In this episode, two patients experience excruciating pain following accidents the previous day. One is an injured biker who was touring the North Coast 500 with friends, and the other is a 71-year-old woman who had been playing with her grandchildren on a trampoline.

In Dalkeith, a crew attend an emergency involving a woman with symptoms that indicate a possible stroke, sepsis, or even both. These are life-threatening illnesses, and getting her the right treatment is time-critical. Meanwhile ,paramedics from Banff rush 25 miles to the home of a woman who lost consciousness while on the phone for an ambulance.
