Ric told Amber that Leo's death was not his fault as it was heroin that killed him. Ric is offered the job of Director of Surgery but turns it down after coming back from the funeral and also handed in his resignation. Jac meddles in Joseph & Faye's wedding plans. At first Joseph doesn't understand why she wants a small, quiet wedding until she explains that she has to think of Archie too. After talking with Mr. Tan Ric withdrew his resignation with the aim of revamping Keller. He told Jayne to accept Randal's donation for the twins, but filter it through the Holby Nightcare Charity.

The Board called an urgent crisis meeting on the Tans. As the meeting progressed it got worse for Jayne and LInden leading Jayne to enlist Connie to come to her aid. Meanwhile, Joseph told Jac to leave Faye alone and sensing a mystery Jac left Holby to go to Greenfields where she conned her way into meeting Faye's son Archie.

Ric was forced to make a consultant redundant and Lola was his only option. Although initially vexed, Lola turned the situation to her advantage. She set up a lucrative new job in a private clinic whilst also getting a really good redundancy package. Kyla and Daisha vied for the vacant Sister position. But after finding out that Daisha was pregnant she let Daisha have the post. Maria continued to receive emails from Aaron despite getting cynical comments from Maddy and Donna. Aaron redeems himself later when he sent a bunch of flowers to Maria. Elsewhere, Linden finds out from a news report that the Tans have lost their case against deportation. Later Connie tells him that one of the twins had aortic stenosis and needed to be separated. Now Linden must decide if he should go against his own religious convictions and advise the Tans to move forward with the separation or let fate decide.

In the wake of Lola's departure Sam is assigned to cover post-op care. Initially over-confident, he soon found that things weren't as easy as he'd thought and he upset Michael, Connie and Ric along the way. He managed to salvage his credibility by arranging a successful meeting about the Tans twins' separation but it meant telling Linden that he couldn't be part of the separation because he was too close to the Tans. Encouraged by Mark and Donna, Daisha contacted her ex-boyfriend Paul to tell him about the baby. After initial reluctance, Paul attended a scan with Daisha and won over, he then told a thrilled Daisha he'd recognise his responsibilities and wanted to be involved. But then Mark told Paul about what bringing up a baby would be like so Paul changed his mind and told Daisha that he would support the baby but wouldn't be with her. Elsewhere, Kyla, was chatted up by a patient on AAU as Maddy secretly hid a letter that arrived for Kyla from Abra. Meanwhile, Connie's relationship with her mystery man got steamy as they had a secret rendezvous in a hotel room.
