Rita receives a frosty reception from her colleagues in the Emergency Department after her lies to Iain were revealed. Elle is offered the permanent position of consultant in the ED and appointed as the department's new Deputy Clinical Lead. Meanwhile, Jez is so busy showing off that he forgets to fill the ambulance with petrol, Jacob and Connie are happy together, and Robyn is gutted after her break-up with Glen. After a difficult day, Rita decides that it's best if she takes some time away from the hospital, and shares a heart to heart talk with Charlie outside the Hope and Anchor, before walking off to go travelling.
