Episode Summary
It’s the day of the inquiry into Helena Bosman’s death. The post-mortem has revealed that the urethra had been cut during surgery but was not repaired properly. It was not done during the bodged cosmetic surgery, as the scars were too recent, but during surgery at Holby. This narrows it down to two culprits – Diane or Nick. Diane admits to Ric that she hid details in her post op report to cover for Nick. Nick however refuses to admit any responsibility and it looks as if Diane will take the wrap.
Chrissie is still acting coldly towards her mother. Elsewhere, the chemistry between Tricia and [ID 1443]Mark[/ID] is getting stronger. They are about to share a kiss, but an oblivious Chrissie interrupts them, and the moment passes. Later, Mark invites Tricia round for dinner.
