Elsewhere, Dr Saul Wilson has a broken hand to contend with; Norwegian Kari was on board a tall ship in Lerwick Harbour when she took a tumble and injured her hand. 

On the first day of his holiday in the Skerries, Jimmie takes a trip he wasn't looking for when he falls off a wall and ends up in A&E with head injuries. Dr Lauren Cammaert needs to determine what is wrong with him and get him back on his feet and back to his holiday as soon as she can.
