Storyline

Mr. Dean has overcome his addiction to cocaine and returns to work. Unfortunately, he loses his nerve in the middle of an operation leading Mr. Holland and Mr. Fenwick to suspect that he may have suffered permanent damage. Sister Ada Russell continues helping a single mother with several children but the long hours are taking its toll and she is late for her shift in the receiving room. Matron Luckes admonishes her and suggests she re-examine her priorities but Ada is clearly questioning the choices - spinsterhood, no children - that come with being a nurse. They face a major emergency when a fire breaks out in a nearby sweat shop that employed children. When Dr. Culpin authorizes nurse Bennett to perform a procedure it brings the ire of the Matron and a clash that may be insurmountable.
