Josh and Penny recieve a callout to a house but can’t get in, no one is answering the door. In the end they resort to breaking a window and climbing inside. They find a trail of blood on the carpet and follow it to the kitchen. There’s a man there, Ian Wilson, threatening to kill himself – he has a lighter and the room smells of petrol. They eventually manage to get him to hospital and when he speaks to a psyciatrist, he admits that he was trying to kill himself because he had just found out his son was not biologically his.

Ian’s son Ben is brought in. He has a renal condition and it has worsened. Ian says he can’t help him by offering a kidney transplant as he’s not his own son. The doctors tell him that this doesn’t matter and when he is tested it’s revealed that he is a suitable donor after all. Overjoyed, he shares the news with Ben.

Meanwhile, Dan entertains a retired consultant, Mr Edward Gutheridge, with the hope he’ll donate a generous sum of money to the department. After getting off on the wrong foot, problems are made worse when Patrick and the consultant clash over a patient diagnosis. Eventually Patrick realises that he needs the consultant’s skills and they successfully work on the patient together.

A 25-year-old woman, Tamara, comes into reception asking for pain relief. Jack tells her they can’t just give her some; she’ll have to see a Doctor. She does, but soon decides that it is taking too long and discharges herself. She is getting married later on in the day and the ceremony is to take place in the air – they’re going to skydive. However just before the jump, Tamara collapses with severe stomach pain. She is taken to hospital where Patrick grudgingly works alongside Mr Gutheridge to diagnose and treat her. They argue over both of these things but in the end Patrick is forced to admit that Mr Gutheridge’s experience is worth a lot. They find out they both come from Wakefield and have the same local up there.

Meanwhile, Colette is horrified to learn that a suicidal patient endangered Josh’s life. Gripped with emotion she has a go at the patient and tells him she could have lost someone special. Josh and Colette get closer…

Not so good for Anna who’s the victim of Barney and Jack’s initiation prank. Jack asks Barney what they usually do to initiate student nurses, then Chloe fills him in on what happened on her first day. Jack and Barney make some plans then find Anna – they tell her she is needed at a callout. The paramedics are in on the joke and take her to a far out location and tell her to run to a tree; the patient is behind it. They then drive away. Poor Anna is left to walk back to A&E in a flying squad uniform and full kit. She’s eventually rescued by a policeman who gives her a lift back She later meets up with him in the pub for a drink and has the last laugh.

It’s Duffy’s last day at work before she goes on maternity leave. She shows Andrew a picture in a magazine of rice pudding and says she’d love some. Andrew laughs at her, saying he thought the cravings were a thing of the past and reminds her of what she liked last time she was pregnant, exaggerating a bit. She asks him to guess what she’d like right now. He guesses peanut butter, and then gherkins. She tells him he’s right – both together. Armed with this information, Andrew asks Spencer to go out and buy them. It takes a couple of goes for Spencer to buy the right things – “This is smooth! Duffy likes crunchy!” but eventually he succeeds, and Andrew hides peanut butter and gherkin sandwiches in her locker, much to her joy when she finds them. It appears that Andrew and Duffy have worked out their differences – at least for now. They all go out for drinks after work.

At the pub, Mr Gutheridge tells Dan that he is going to give the money to the hospital if they’ll name the fund after his deceased wife. Dan says it would be a pleasure. Mr Gutheridge and Patrick also get in deep conversation about medicine – and Yorkshire. Later on, Patrick tells Dan that there should be no hard feelings about Holly. Dan says he didn’t know there were any, and that Patrick isn’t the only one to feel bad about the situation.

Excited but apprehensive about meeting her father, Penny is then devastated when she receives a letter from him, telling her he doesn’t want any contact. Colette and Josh share their first kiss outside the pub – but are intereupted by a tearful Penny, who Josh hugs.
