Emeka gets involved in a dispute over the hospital's dress code and finds out if he has passed into next year. Jo gets involved in her most gory and complicated surgery so far. Anna spends the day teaching a medical student, and Jess helps a patient with a dangerously high heart rate. And the junior doctors gather for dinner to celebrate their successes.

Sofia feels the pressure when she is first port of call for over 150 patients on her first surgical on call night shift, and Zohaib is not keen on performing his first rectal exam.

It's the junior doctors' first Christmas working in the hospital. Zohaib has a difficult conversation, Nick deals with an awkward patient and Howra has to certify her first death.
