Rushed to the busy outer suburban hospital of Prospect Valley suffering from an angina attack, Happy meets the young intern Dr Liz Gibson, and is impressed with her treatment. When Liz finds herself the subject of a medical negligence writ, she is refused support by hospital administrator, Meg Morrison, who seems to be in league with Liz's boyfriend, Dr Tim Whitney. Liz turns to MDA and is surprised to discover that Happy not only works for her medical indemnity organisation but that he will be her case manager. Accused of failing to properly diagnose a patient's abdominal aneurysm, Liz reveals to Happy the struggles she has to face at Prospect Valley Hospital. Amanda meets her match in David Simpson, the Deputy Commissioner of the Health Review Board. While they are in opposition in court, in private Amanda and David strike up a passionate relationship, which threatens to interfere with their professional lives. MDA appears to have succeeded in defending Liz, until a shattering new accusation is levelled against her. She fails to ask a simple question that would have saved a man's life.
