Lauren is charged with causing the death of Archie Morton and is bailed on the day that Faye returned to work. Vanessa informed the staff that Lauren was forbidden to come to Holby but that didn't stop Lauren where she talked to Judith and Mark. They tried to smuggle her out of Holby but were seen by Joseph and Maria. Maria told Faye and Faye contacted Lauren and met her near a lake. Faye lost her temper and attacked Lauren when Lauren wouldn't take responsibility. Shortly after, Lauren was admitted to Holby after being pulled from the river - how far had Faye gone? Meanwhile, Ric's first day back brought him in contact with new temporary consultant Jac Naylor. When her risky surgery failed and she questioned why he didn't let her proceed further he told her he knew how she went to the press and that the surgery was her way of sealing her role as permanent consultant. Ric also refused to talk with Thandie who was desperate to clear the air between them and Judith told Mark that her ex-husband had sold their house. Chrissie came face to face with the father of her baby Sacha Levy which came as a huge shock to him.
