It is Jacob’s first day in A&E: in a standalone episode he struggles when it all goes rather wrong.
His supervisor Dr. Todd briefs an eager Jacob, he soon faces the stress of an incoming stab victim. Jacob recognises April’s purse on the victim and panics, calling Marlon. He is soon reprimanded by Doctor Todd for informing the family; she is clearly not pleased with his conduct. Jacob watches as Marlon and Rhona arrive, desperate for news. As time passes without updates on how the victim is doing, tensions in the family room rise. Eventually, Jacob is heartbroken as he watches a nurse enter to deliver devastating news to Marlon and Rhona.
Jacob is approached by a fellow medical student before Charity rushes in with a drunk Sarah, who collapses. Jacob jumps into action, helping Sarah, but he deals her some very tough love. Sarah later makes a confession to him. Later, Jacob and an elderly patient Henry bond over their family situations, with Henry offering comfort to the stressed medical student.
Outside the hospital Moira and Cain arrive for her appointment, with Moira distracted by seeing Jacob at the hospital. They meet with the radiation oncologist to discuss the treatment plan, and Moira becomes emotional during her mask fitting. In the hospital Cain gets talking to Henry, the elderly patient, who reminds him of his late father. Moira is upset when Cain isn’t immediately available after the procedure.
