All Saints

Life changes forever when the All Saints emergency team is caught up in the unfolding chaos of a balcony collapse at a local nightclub where they are attending a New Year's Eve charity function.

A tragic accident brings Frank's ex-wife into the ED as his worst nightmare confronts him. As Mac faces the possibility of life in a wheelchair, Gill and Cate try to come to terms with it. Jack comes to an uneasy truce with Charlotte and his impending fatherhood, while Dan helps two young girls at the nightclub before they face the disastrous consequences of their choices.

Cate's early morning visit with Mac sours and sets the tone of her entire day. Back down in the Emergency Department, Cate comes face to face with a past unresolved situation when a prostitute is brought in brutally bashed. When Cate finds out the patient is the mother of the child she saw in a brothel, she rushes in where angels fear to tread.

A patient, wearing pyjamas and covered in blood, collapses in the waiting room of All Saints before being able to give any details. The trouble is he doesn't have any wounds. So whose blood is it?

Nelson faces his inner demons when he discovers a six-year-old girl, near death, locked in a car outside a pub on a blistering summer's day. When the girl's father turns up in the ED, drunkenly belligerent, then full of remorse, Nelson fury forces him to goad the father into violence.

All Saint celebrates its 300th episode with an emotionally charged hour of drama as Charlotte is sent sprawling by a hit and run driver and fights to save her unborn child.

In the aftermath of Charlotte's miscarriage, Terri returns to All Saints to a cold reception from Jack. In this bitter mood, Jack has little patience for a man brought in with septic shock from self-inflicted wounds following the death of his twin brother.

A head-on accident between a motorcyclist and a semi-trailer, that could be a suicide attempt, creates heartache for both families in this week's All Saints. Focussing on finding a diagnosis for a 16-year-old schoolboy whose limbs keep periodically failing him, Jessica doesn't see the crush he has on her.

Vincent is thrown when Beth shows up at the hospital complaining of severe abdominal pain. Charlotte, unable to find the cause of the pain, refers Beth to Vincent for exploratory surgery but Vincent is convinced that Beth's pain is psychosomatic and refuses to operate.

When Cate and Sasha respond to an early morning call-out they find themselves circled by a group of young blokes at a buck's night. When the All Saints Radiographers go on strike for a pay rise, the Emergency Department is flung into chaos and deep tensions arise between the men.

A car explosion rocks a local supermarket, sending waves of paranoia through the community. When Cate and Sasha arrive on-site, Sasha struggles to deal with the devastation and ends up wondering whether she's cut out to be an Ambo. A writer, Des Callahan, who has just released a controversial book on terrorism, believes this was an attack on his life.

It's night shift in the Emergency Department and Dan is hoping for a quiet night - but even the best-laid plans are destined to fail. When a patient collapses in the Waiting Room, no one expects the case will be quite so baffling. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Vincent's big night on the town is unexpectedly cut short due to an incident at a nightclub.

Terri is stunned when two faces from her past are brought into the hospital. Following a car accident, Lucy Stevens, the young daughter of Terri's late husband Mitch, is rushed into the emergency department, along with Rose's mother, Victoria.

During a violent siege at a brothel, Sasha and Cate witness Connie, a prostitute, being slashed by a knife-wielding assailant while another victim lies close by. When Patrick, the assailant, lunges at a cop he is shot and apprehended. In the ED Patrick abuses Jessica, forcing Nelson to replace her with Dan, who eventually finds out the source of Patrick's emotional pain.

Cate and Sasha find a teenage girl, Erin, seriously injured in a fall from a railway bridge. Cate makes a controversial decision in a last-ditch attempt to save Erin's life. Vincent faces court, charged with assault and accused of stalking. With Charlotte by his side, Vincent listens to Beth's lies on the stand, realising with horror that the truth will not necessarily win the day.

Inside a middle-class suburban house, Cate and Stuart step into one man's living nightmare when they discover his wife has cut off his penis with a kitchen knife. Worse, she has hidden the severed member and refuses to disclose its whereabouts. Von finds herself in an awkward territory when she is forced into the unfamiliar role of surrogate mother to her niece Kerry.

Tensions are high between Cate and Stuart when they deal with Nathan, a young father who is trapped in workplace machinery. For Cate, the situation brings back memories of losing her father. As far as Stuart is concerned her hand-holding exercise is way beyond their call of duty and, by the end of the day, both Ambos have gone through significant personal and professional changes.

Terri finds herself nursing a girl suffering from stress-related migraine headaches - and she's only 14. Cate's first day as a full-time Emergency Department nurse convinces her she's made the right move from the Ambulance Service. Nelson, after a successful first day back as Nursing Unit Manager, is more than happy to take the next step in his personal life.

A horrific accident brings a family into the Emergency Department, and Terri finds herself spending her last day at All Saints on a crusade to alleviate a young girl's guilt. Her last day is fraught with complications as a family's celebration goes horribly wrong and their hot-air balloon crashes in dense bushland.

Jessica is finally honest with Stuart as to why they broke up and admits she is still a virgin. Full of guilt and confusion over Beth targeting Jessica with a car bomb, Vincent is unable to shake the feeling Beth is watching him and his friends' every move.

What starts as a normal day in the Emergency Department is quickly thrown into chaos when Frank receives an urgent call informing him his house is on fire. The torment of previous weeks is taking its toll on Vincent. He can't sleep, can't concentrate and is only just staying on top of things. On a trauma callout, Vincent and Stuart have a heated exchange over the treatment of a patient.

When young couple Craig Mendolsohn and Megan Harris are brought in after an MVA, Charlotte and Jack take a special interest in their treatment after it's discovered that Megan is five months pregnant. After recent events, the rest of the staff are beginning to resent being targeted by Beth, Vincent is close to the breaking point and it's Cate who gives him an ultimatum.

When Vincent takes a call from Beth claiming that she's planted a bomb in the Emergency Department, a major evacuation of the hospital is triggered. However, the morning has also seen the admission of a Spanish diplomat potentially suffering from SARS. The patient is in isolation and unable to be transferred.

The after-effects of the bomb scare are still being felt by all. As Frank and Nelson deal with the administrative aftermath, Vincent deals with the police investigation surrounding the disappearance of Cate that afternoon.
