When a courier suffers a cardiac arrest at Lewis’ house Abi springs into action and saves his life – before realising he is actually NFR (not for resuscitation). The young man threatens to sue Abi, creating a major setback in her competition with Dr Saxon for promotion and threatening to bankrupt her and Mark. Her life becomes further complicated when Kane, Alex and Eve decide Abi is the perfect surrogate to carry their baby – there’s no way she can handle this extra burden, but how can she say no?
After the incident with the courier, Lewis is confronted by his own mortality. He goes in search of his absent son Ned, only to find he’s left the country, abandoning his girlfriend Frankie and son Sam. Lewis determines to make things right with Frankie and reconnect with his grandson, but something about Sam’s behaviour gives Lewis and Gemma cause for concern.
Mark is working on a marketing strategy for a new range of breakfast drinks and has convinced Justin to be the face of the brand. But when Justin turns up late for an important meeting, it seems like Mark has lost his opportunity to get ahead.
Justin determines to find out whether Rodney intends to go for custody of Angie, but instead finds Rodney a broken man after Tash’s sudden departure. Justin’s better nature gets the better of him, and he helps his enemy get back on his feet. A grateful Rodney undertakes not to go for custody – but can he be trusted?
