Consultant Stevie Nash faces fresh trauma this week as she discovers what the future holds following last week’s emergency surgery…

Dr Priya Rowland (Helen Crevel) reveals that Stevie (Elinor Lawless) has stage two ovarian cancer and, while the hysterectomy appears to have removed the disease, chemotherapy is recommended.

Feeling both scared and relieved at the prognosis, Stevie turns to her new friend and fellow patient, Cara Harris (Laura Pitt-Pulford), who tells Stevie that she’s going home today to die.

But, this happy moment between the trio is suddenly cut short when Cara collapses in the carpark and is raced to the ED.
