It's the day of Michael Beauchamp's appeal. Connie, Michael's wife is keen to press on with daily work on Darwin, however her mind is obviously elsewhere. She leaves the hospital to attend Michael's appeal, which he wins. Connie returns to work after the appeal, to operate on a dancer who has a heart infection due to an abortion which she had earlier in the year. Michael turns up at the hospital and gets into a scrape with a journalist, landing himself in AAU with a head injury. Connie visits him and tells Michael they will talk later. Connie is on Darwin when Michael later turns up with a Thai take-away. Connie tells Michael he may return home with her, where they can eat and talk. Elsewhere, Lola is reluctant to let Leanne's dad take her home. After she suspects him of being a drug user, she runs tests which prove inconclusive, and Lola realises he is diabetic. She reluctantly lets him take the baby home, but it's clear Lola is upset.
