RFDS on Channel 7 – Word that Eliza (Emma Hamilton) will lead the review into the White Cliffs incident has Pete (Stephen Peacocke) reeling as the team is tasked with a skydiving accident, a missing patient, an old friend who’s suffered a dangerous fall and terrible turbulence.
News of the review into the White Cliffs incident has Pete’s (Stephen Peacocke) confidence shaken, especially when it’s revealed that Eliza (Emma Hamilton) has been asked to run it.
And when a clinic at a remote station takes a turn after a familiar face suffers an injury, Pete realises he is starting to doubt his instincts.
Eliza isn’t too keen on investigating her colleagues either, and when she is tasked to a retrieval where the patient has gone AWOL, she goes on a search to find her, wondering if coming back out here was in fact a terrible decision.
Wayne (Rob Collins) and Mira (Ash Ricardo) battle turbulence and their worries about each other as they try and figure out whether they want to upend their lives to become parents.
Meanwhile, Taylor (Sofia Nolan) grows closer to the troubled Cameron (Jack Kenny), much to her uncle Pete’s chagrin, and the shock of her returned boyfriend Darren (Thomas Weatherall), who comes back from the surprise 50th birthday Matty (Jack Scott) throws for Leonie (Justine Clarke).
Thrust into instant surgical menopause, Leonie struggles with adjusting to her new life and body and has to hide her turmoil as the team celebrate her.
