Episode 1 Anji may be set on an arranged marriage, and sex-kitten Beth has yet to meet the rich consultant of her dreams, but that doesn't stop them hunting down any other man they fancy in the meantime. Sharp-tongued and funny single mum Lia is a great nurse but a lousy mother, and lovely Kate, the acting sister on the male-dominated Medical Assessment Unit, would cope better with the sexual politics if she remembered that doctors are the enemy, instead of falling for them... In this episode, Kate's out-of-character one night stand with handsome doctor Jamie has terrible consequences on the ward, while minxy Beth teaches young Callum that doctor doesn't always know best. |

Episode 2 Anji is worried that her numerous sexual encounters, most recently with an eccentric psychiatrist, could jeopardise her (future) arranged marriage. Lia clashes with irresponsible nurse Carl, who seems more interested in kissing doctors' a* than wiping those of patients... Elsewhere, McManus and Grizzly beg Kate to return, and a water feature that is donated to the ward resembles a water fountain a little too much... |

Kate returns to the ward following her anger management course, and the girls are highly amused to discover that Beth fakes her orgasms... to the tune of Celine Dion. |
