Holby City - Episode 39

2 months ago 27th Jun 11:43

Linden visits his wife Olivia’s grave to lay flowers. He is angry to find graffiti on her gravestone, along with others. He tries to clean it up, but has no luck. Arriving at work late, Mark smugly tells him he has missed the morning management meeting and that he is late for his ward round. Linden, clearly flustered, gets straight to it.

Lady Byrne has resigned from the Byrne Foundation and has gone on a world cruise. Jayne Grayson offers Michael the position and he accepts. He goes to speak to Elliott about his new role and Elliot is shocked to discover that Lady Byrne has left. He is clearly upset by the news but Michael overlooks this and asks him for help. Elliott declines and makes a hasty exit, while Connie is left feeling bitter that Michael was offered the position and not her.

Since Jac’s bike crash, she has come out of ITU and been moved to HolbyCare under Elliott’s management. However, he has a lot on and asks Joseph to attend to her. Joseph does not want to but Elliot insists. Joseph goes to see Jac and is put out by her questions about South Africa. He puts her straight about Faye and takes pride in telling her Faye is not actually married, but divorced. Jac tells him she is pleased that it is good news, but she still obviously wants to know more.

Michael finds Elliot asleep at his desk and thinks he is taking on too much. He convinces Elliot to lessen his workload by asking Connie to take over his role as Medical Advisor for the Byrne Foundation; Connie agrees. Having cleared time, Elliot sees to Jac’s results and awaits news on if she needs a lung operation. Joseph is certain that if she does, he does not want to assist in the operation. Elliot tells him he might have too.

Still having no luck with cleaning his wife’s grave, Linden continues to get frustrated at work. Daisha and Maddy attend to one of his patients, Liam Harris, a dancer who has just got his big break in theatre. He has an incarcerated hernia, which needs an operation. Linden decides to operate on AAU, even though Mark points out that the theatre facility isn’t equipped with a laporoscopic stack. Mark doesn’t think it is a good idea.

Jac continues to dig further for information and find out what happened between Faye and Joseph in South Africa. Elliot eventually puts her straight telling her it’s really neither of their business. When Joseph attends to her she tries to have a heart to heart with him, telling him she really is sorry for everything that went wrong between them. Joseph accepts her apology, so she uses this opportunity to declare she isn’t apologising for following Faye. She admits that she had wanted to, and that he wouldn’t have found out about Lucas if it weren’t for her. He tells her it is still none of her business, but they did get engaged. He tells her that this is a secret, and one that she promises to keep.

Taking a more caring approach to Jac, Joseph arranges for her to be at the top of the CT scan list. After doing so, Jac refuses the scan; she doesn’t want to jump in front of waiting patients, as it is not fair. Convincing Joseph she has changed even more, he is taken in by her kindness. He agrees to assist on her operation if need be.
