Ashes

Episode 45 of 48

Jordan is left reeling after some life-changing news, and faces a difficult decision, while Adam is shocked to see a familiar face. And Curtis wants a favour from Jeff.

Having had to deal with the fact he only has months to live, and that chemo is no longer an option, Jordan is now told that in fact his tumour may be operable. He contemplates the risks - would he want to live with the kind of brain damage that may realistically take place?

Zoe makes a clinical mistake in resus, endangering a life. Jordan decides to take the blame - her career is more important than his.

Jessica returns from Saudi, her trip a success. Lucas and Amelia are now back, along with her and baby Harry. To her surprise, Adam is furious - how dare she use his son as bait? What would have happened if she had been arrested out there? Through his shift though, a difficult case makes him realise how important Jessica and the children are. He apologises and poses a significant question.

Curtis asks Jeff to be his best man, but Jeff's recent experience of divorce has left him bitter, and he turns the invitation down. The gang play a trick on him, horrifying him with their ideas for an 'alternative' stag party. The prospect of vegetarian food, place settings, and female guests makes Jeff reconsider.
