Maggie's daughter's contractions start. Meanwhile, Jeff is injured in a pub brawl making Greg consider whether he should resign after Dixie calls him a liability.

While vandalising the underside of a motorway bridge, a young graffiti artist slips and is left dangling from the bridge. Greg, as a rapid responder is first on the scene. Despite Gregs attempts to pull the boy up the rope snaps and he falls into the road causing a car pile up. As Greg checks out the damage he finds that his patient from last week, Ruby, was involved in the crash. The family had been returning from Holby after dropping off flowers for Greg. Chloe, Ruby's mother, has been impaled through the stomach and is trapped in the car. A chemical from a van begins to spread across the scene causing the fire brigade to tell the paramedics to retreat. Chloe passes away and Greg tells Ruby that her mother is just sleeping.

Back in the hospital Ruth is treating the graffiti artist in cubicles while Adam treats Ruby. Adam requests a blood gas for Ruby, only for Kelsey to tell him that she can't due to being on an agency shift. Kelsey asks Adam to step outside where she tells him that she is not impressed with his attitude.

Later, Tess is forced to close the department as the hospital cannot cope with the number of patients. Despite being minutes away Dixie and Jeff are forced to divert to St James' Hospital, an extra 10 minutes away. It then transpires that the chemical from the van was Carbon tetrachloride, Ruby dies after Adam, Kelsey and Zoe try desperately to resuscitate her for 30 minutes. Tess shouts at Abs blaming the work-to-rule in causing the death of the elderly man that Dixie had in the ambulance, and Ruby. Greg resigns with immediate effect unable to cope with losing yet more patients. The department gather outside to see themselves in graffiti as the graffiti artist from earlier paints a tribute.
