| ShortSummary
| - A tough day on the ward. Kim has given up smoking and is feeling the effects, Den has a secret she's trying to hide, Pippa has a moment or two, and Hilary is out on the prowl looking for cuts. Matters come to a head with the arrival of a private patient and the search for a side ward, with Dr Kersley applying the pressure. With accommodation on the agenda Den finds herself homeless courtesy of overcrowding at Kim's, and a hapless attempt to bully a solution results in Kim having no mentor and Pippa in a rage. With a coma patient to shift and a makeshift office to dismantle, the walls are closing in on Sister Flixter. Shift ended and Kim dispatched, it's time to call in a favour from an unlikely source. (en)
- A few days have passed and the stormclouds have continued to gather. Damaris has gone, Megan is angry, Den is playing games and Mrs Dethick is back on the ward.
On a positive note, Hansley has turned out to be something of a star turn and the Vag-At is going from strength to strength – at least it was, until a mix up with the oncology Christmas card competition leads to complications. A delicate situation needs careful handling, as a funny turn with the coma patient has unexpected consequences.
Back on Red Bay, there's bad news for Mrs Dethick and a bittersweet moment as Pippa again defuses a tricky situation and still finds time to settle up with Hansley. (en)
- A horrendously smelly, unidentified old woman is brought in and does the rounds of all the other wards because nobody else will take her in, eventually returning to B4 and leading to friction between Den and Hilary. Meanwhile a Mrs Fyvie is admitted and her daughter Beedy, who has read all about medication on the Internet, challenges Pippa's treatment of her mother's care. (en)
- Hypochondriacal Mrs Dethick is re-admitted, adding to Den's problems. Kim finds help from an unexpected quarter, while Hilary is a man on a mission as the different designations of waste offer him a way back onto the ward. Megan is having trouble drumming up support for the forthcoming strike, while Pippa benefits from previously unseen talents hidden away on K2. The lights go down on another shift at K2 leaving Mrs Dethick in the dark and Den in a dark place. With Megan moody and Pippa scornful, Kim reluctantly turns to Damaris for help with her studies and sparks off an unexpected alliance. (en)
- The aftermath of the fight with Ivy has left a problem, with Hilary accusing Kim of making an inappropriate remark during the fight and insisting on disciplinary action. Kim has called in her union rep to defend her, but the meeting does little to improve the situation. Hilary demands the ward be shut down for a deep cleaning, forcing extra work on the staff. Pippa leaves for a health conference abroad, with her stool sample research complete. (en)
- An aggressive, foul-mouthed patient called Ivy causes trouble for staff and patients. She uses racist and homophobic language, lights up cigarettes on the ward and attacks members of staff with a bottle. Hilary is traumatised by events and Ivy has to be sedated and transferred to a psychiatric ward. Hilary agrees to go on a date with Den. (en)
- Artist Dylan Schwarz and his assistant Elke arrive on K2 to set up a kids art project. Pippa is attracting the attention of Dr Kersley and obstetrician Dr Tatty Oxford , who in turn has a surprise of her own to spring on Den. Kim confesses that Dave has been offered a job in Iraq, Den ponders her own unexpected news and Pippa makes a discovery of a different kind in a corner at Chatters.
Dylan's endeavours help solve one patient's diagnosis, but off the ward Den's announcement ends in a more brutal fashion with fisticuffs for Hilary. With Vag-At research a success, Pippa celebrates funding approval with a suitably open-mouthed Josh, but her now ex-husband Phillip has one more surprise to spring. (en)
- New admission Peggy Lowe causes problems with her claim that she was ill-treated in her care home, so the last thing over-worked Kim and Den want is an enquiry after Peggy gets dropped whilst being bathed. Den hopes that her influence on Hilary - their secret affair gradually coming into the open - will get them off the hook when Peggy's son comes to complain. And in a way it does. (en)
- Another shift, another shuttle bus to miss. The appearance of Dr Kersley and his commissioning consortia plans hints at the changes ahead for K2. Den enjoys her new-found treats, nice Damaris has her feet firmly under the desk, Kim makes a bold career move and Pippa deals with a pressing legal issue. Vag-At research under way, Dr Moore has plenty to take her mind off marital disharmony until a nasty online surprise brings her crashing back down to ground. But it's her cafetiere, brought in from home, that steals the show courtesy of Doris and a mix-up with the dementia care assistant. (en)
- Kim is doubly irritated by know-all student nurse Damaris Clarke and by a talking life size cut-out giving instructions on hand washing. Due to Pippa's varying diagnoses on ailing Mrs. Fyvie, her Edinburgh-based daughter Beedy is repeatedly called into the ward on false alarms and Den and Kim take sadistic pleasure in knowing that Pippa has had to reapply for her job. (en)
- There is an even bigger air of gloom on the ward than usual. Pippa has failed to get the job she was after and Kim is angry that she will not be promoted and that Pippa has yet to pay her husband for work done. Beedy is understandably upset when her mother, only just dead, is moved out of the ward so another patient can have her bed. At least Den and Hilary have something to celebrate, as they decide to get engaged. But then Den's ex-husband reappears, to win her back. (en)
- Kim is on her own on the night shift when an elderly Italian woman with little English is admitted. Pippa is called away from a party to see her and is excited when she believes the woman is pregnant and could make medical history, bringing the ward fame. She is not happy when a whole posse of Italian medics take the woman away and Den is not happy, when, arriving from the agency where she moon-lights, she confides in Kim about her relationship with Hilary. Hilary shows up to have things out with her so, all in all, it is not the uneventful night Kim wanted. (en)
- It's a new day, it's a new dawn, it's a new ward. King Edwards has shut, B4 is no more. Kim, Den and Pippa have moved to neighbouring St Jude's in anticipation of a now-stalled redevelopment. Their new home, twin-bayed K2, is modern and clean - all appears well. But behind the glossy facade lie the same old patients and problems, and beyond that comes a long list of new worries. Kim is barely keeping her head above water, home life for Pippa is no more settled, and Den is about to discover her own brand new challenge. With Hilary Loftus looking for efficiency savings and diversity cup cakes on the menu courtesy of modern matron Damaris , the staff once again get on with the daily task of getting on. (en)
- Hilary announces his new initiative of Icing the Cake, which, to Kim's annoyance, is purely symbolic, the 'icing' representing excellent service. Hoping to apply a little icing Pippa apologizes to Den for giving a reference some years earlier which stopped her getting a flat. Den lets fly at her so, to atone, she offers to help her move house before enjoying a lunch date with Peter, unaware that she may have to reapply for her job. Den and Hilary, following the revelation of his outburst, agree to be friends and she offers to go to a gay bar with him. (en)
- Sister Den Flixter, Nurse Kim Wilde and Dr. Pippa Moore work on a geriatric ward. An elderly patient called Lily is discovered dead on her eighty-seventh birthday. While packing up Lily's possessions, they steal her birthday cake. Faeces is discovered on a chair and Kim is given mixed messages on cleaning it and giving it to Pippa for her stool collection. Kim and Den are having difficulties in understanding a Bangladeshi patient who can't speak English. New male matron Hilary Loftus arrives on the ward and Den pours her heart out to him about her failed marriage to a fraudster. (en)
