- In the aftermath of Charlotte's miscarriage, Terri returns to All Saints to a cold reception from Jack. In this bitter mood, Jack has little patience for a man brought in with septic shock from self-inflicted wounds following the death of his twin brother [episode 7.39]. Unable to engage emotionally with the grieving man, Jack pushes to have the patient treated against his wishes. Cate refuses to let Jack allow his own pain to compromise his usual compassion. Putting aside their recent past, Terri visits Charlotte at home and shares some very personal history - how she and Mitch coped with the pain of losing their own baby. Spending the day together, Terri helps Charlotte face her feelings of guilt and loss, and to take the first tentative steps towards emotional recovery. With Terri's gentle encouragement, Charlotte finally allows Jack to share in the grieving process. Jessica's romantic illusions about marriage and romance are shattered when she nurses a flirtatious patient. She discovers the patient's burns resulted from a domestic dispute in which the woman's husband suffered grave injuries, and that these injuries were made worse by the fact he was left to deteriorate at home while his wife took herself to hospital. Jessica's mood isn't helped when she witnesses the growing friendship between Cate and Vincent. The situation is worsened when Cate reveals she contributed to tension between Jessica and Vincent by letting slip to him that Jessica fancies him. Jessica demands Cate undo her handiwork. Amidst all this, Cate is very privately and stoically nursing her own feelings of loss and grief. At the end of the day, she and Vincent find themselves sharing some wry observations on the price of intimacy - only to arrive at a brief but unnerving moment of intimacy of their own. Cate walks away, but we are left with the distinct feeling that these two could have a lot more in common than we've previously seen.
