RFDS Royal Flying Doctor Service

A year has passed since Pete’s suspension and he has hidden himself away in Adelaide. When a bus that he is on crashes, the RFDS team are reunited in a mass casualty accident. With harrowing medical emergencies all competing for resources, Eliza must make the impossible decision of who to save and who to leave behind.

Still rattled from the bus crash, Eliza second-guesses her diagnosis and decision-making when a local grazier is found collapsed on his property. Pete and Wayne struggle to separate work from their personal issues while on a retrieval and a mid-air incident puts multiple lives in danger.

An embarrassing yet life-threatening retrieval to a revered local councillor brings Pete and Eliza’s personal differences to the fore. Wayne struggles to switch off from saving lives while visiting family and Chaya’s attempts to heal the wounds of the bus crash end up making matters worse.

Eliza visits a terminally ill patient requesting help with voluntary assisted dying, only to discover the woman’s husband is the driver from the bus crash. A critically ill baby reminds Wayne and Mira of the fragility of their own daughter, while Matty juggles a chaotic retrieval that results in a potentially scandalous romance with a colleague.

On Christmas Eve, Eliza’s skepticism about the severity of a patient’s symptoms becomes compromised when he begins to experience life threatening seizures. Wayne, Mira and Matty fly to a remote island where a risky procedure is considered to prevent potential paraplegia. Chaya and Leonie’s Christmas fundraiser leads to a bloody injury and the revelation of a shameful family secret.

On New Year’s Eve, Eliza, Pete and Ryan contend with live powerlines after a romantic hot-air balloon ride becomes a risky retrieval. Wayne is stretched thin when his auntie becomes ill before his and Naomi’s fundraising event. Chaya grapples with Matty’s betrayal as the pair run into trouble transporting a drunk partygoer. Leonie is forced to confront a personal and professional dilemma.

Eliza, Matty and Chaya attend to a remote retrieval for a patient with Down syndrome. Mira grapples with feeling removed from Wayne and Naomi’s world. Leonie finds herself caught between her professional duties and personal feelings. Anna and Poppy’s mediation takes a turn for the worse. And when a vial of fentanyl goes missing, one of the team will be forced to leave the RFDS.

The animosity between Eliza and Anna leads to a dangerous confrontation. As the ramifications of the devastating bus crash reach maximum impact, the entire RFDS team must work together in a life and death situation that ultimately ends up threatening one of their own.
