This episode opens on Thursday the 12th. One of the patients is distraught about something terrible which is going to happen on Friday 13th. Is it the chaos caused by another patients dog Scamp, that Danny suggested should be allowed on the ward? Will it be caused by Mark Collins, who doesn't want Nash to help him with his mental illness? Kate celebrates passing the first part of her psychiatry exam, but Shug doesn't want to celebrate passing his. Perhaps it's because he is only pretending, in reality he has failed for the fourth time and that means no more chances. Shug goes onto the hospital ward.
