For Nash it's definately the morning after the night before. As he says later imagine the worst scenario of that of a doctor with his patient, in his case Chris Gilhooley.

Young teensger Lisa is found wandering around the streets. She has just given birth, but rejects the baby. Can Kate, Danny and Anne help her to make the right decisions?

Jamie thinks that the pregnant Mariko should not be lifting heavy objects. Martine and Ben are back together. Shug is worried about his exams and so is Kate. Will her relationship survive? Danny wishes Kate well and says she can call him if she likes. Kate calls, but Danny is listening to the football in the bath.

This episode opens on Thursday the 12th. One of the patients is distraught about something terrible which is going to happen on Friday 13th. Is it the chaos caused by another patients dog Scamp, that Danny suggested should be allowed on the ward? Will it be caused by Mark Collins, who doesn't want Nash to help him with his mental illness? Kate celebrates passing the first part of her psychiatry exam, but Shug doesn't want to celebrate passing his. Perhaps it's because he is only pretending, in reality he has failed for the fourth time and that means no more chances. Shug goes onto the hospital ward. Danny tries to convince him he needs help, but Shug stabs Danny. Kate realising, as Danny says, that she knows what she wants, and it's not Iain, rushes to Danny in hospital. She kisses him, Danny may be in a coma, but he smirks. The series ends there. Was Friday 13th unlucky for Danny or not?
