Next week on Casualty, Indie has a harrowing first shift on her placement at Holby, while Faith gets injured by Luka and Jodie is conflicted when Aaron invites her to Rhea’s funeral.
For the lowdown on these stories and more, here is our round-up of all the biggest moments from next week’s episode of the current boxset ‘Public Property’ – titled ‘Bite the Bullet’.
1. Indie joins the team
Trainee paramedic Indie gets ready to start her third-year placement at Holby. But before her shift starts, she ends up lying to Jan about passing one of her university modules.
Indie tags along with Iain and Teddy, who are responding to a drive-by shooting. They get stuck in traffic, but Indie is keen to impress so she gets out and moves an awkwardly parked van, allowing the ambulance to move through.
2. Luka injures Faith
After Luka recently lashed out at Faith, tensions continue to rise at home, and a heated conversation results in him trapping his mum’s hand in a cupboard door. As she nurses her injury at work, Faith spots her friend Astrid – and is concerned that she is using drugs again.
Siobhan notices Faith’s hand and when she continues to ask questions, she eventually admits the truth. Siobhan advises Faith to speak to her son, but will she and Luka be able to make amends?
3. Jodie is conflicted
On the day of Rhea’s funeral, Aaron arrives at the ED with baby Elsie, who is refusing to eat. As Jodie heads to see to them, Siobhan reminds her that she needs to brush up on the hospital’s code of conduct, following the controversy about her social media video.
Jodie finds that Elsie has a tongue tie, and though it isn’t protocol, Jodie reluctantly agrees to do the procedure in the ED. Aaron then invites Jodie and Dylan to Rhea’s funeral, though Dylan quickly declines the offer on behalf of them both and urges Jodie not to get involved. But will she be able to stay away?
4. Indie makes a discovery
At the scene, the paramedics tend to a man’s gunshot wound, but Indie soon realises that he is in possession of a gun as well. He threatens the team and refuses to go to the ED, but Indie’s quick thinking makes him change his mind.
But when Indie follows a trail of blood, she discovers another victim – this time, a 10-year-old boy. Will she be able to act fast on her first shift?
5. Rash’s secret is exposed
Rash has recently found out that his uncle Kareem has cancer, but he doesn’t want his son Tariq to know about his illness. He continues to keep this huge secret from his cousin, but this becomes much harder when new surgeon – and Tariq’s housemate – Sean realises what is happening. Rash is forced to reveal the truth, but will Tariq discover his dad’s news?
6. Rida and Sean make plans
Speaking of Sean, he and Rida previously hit it off when they were introduced. The pair continue to flirt in next week’s episode, resulting in a surprise offer of a date. Is this the start of a new Holby romance?
