Synopsis
As a car comes to a halt in a busy road, a bus filled with passengers swerves, clips a central reserve and crashes on its side.
While most passengers get clear, a young girl named Lucy is pulled to safety as another passenger runs. With the paramedics on the scene, the injured are rushed to the ED.
When a wounded man stumbles into the hospital's reception looking for treatment, Charlie soon realises that he must have been involved in the bus crash. But why was he not treated at the scene and picked up by the paramedics?
Meanwhile, Lily is told to work alongside Rita in order to improve her cold bedside manner.
Elsewhere, Tom asks Sam to move in with him.
