Damaris has gone, Megan's angry, Den is playing games and Mrs Dethick is back on the ward.

Darkly comic series set in an NHS Trust hospital ward. Stormclouds have continued to gather - Damaris has gone, Megan is angry, Den is playing games and Mrs Dethick is back.

A few days have passed and the stormclouds have continued to gather. Damaris has gone, Megan is angry, Den is playing games and Mrs Dethick is back on the ward. 

On a positive note, Hansley has turned out to be something of a star turn and the Vag-At is going from strength to strength - at least it was, until a mix up with the oncology Christmas card competition leads to complications. A delicate situation needs careful handling, as a funny turn with the coma patient has unexpected consequences. 

Back on Red Bay, there's bad news for Mrs Dethick and a bittersweet moment as Pippa again defuses a tricky situation and still finds time to settle up with Hansley.
