The episode recaps the three weeks before Jordan goes into a coma. These include meeting a penniless Italian hotel maid and a game of cat and mouse on Zoe's part between Nick, his neurologist Dr Frances Lively and the infamous Professor Walter McFey, who Zoe persuades to operate on Nick, with a operation that could either potentially save his life, or leave him with severe disabilities if he pulls through. How far will she go to save her patient?
Casualty is the world's longest running and most successful medical drama series on television. It depicts the private and working lives of the patients, doctors, nurses and all others attending a small but frantically busy accident and emergency department of the large Holby General hospital. By mixing episodic plots with longer, character-based stories it ensures that we get to know the characters as people with lives, not just doctors or nurses. With consistently superb storylines and great acting, Casualty is compulsive viewing. The show began in 1986 and since then only one character remains; the one and only Charlie Fairhead played by Derek Thompson.
