Jacob confides his fears to Trui. Tina runs into an old school crush in the delivery room: Emmanuel. Emmanuel flirts during the delivery, creating a particularly awkward situation. Jerry's father tries to make him understand that by wanting to continue his relationship with Ella, he's not only destroying himself but also his family. Anne is in charge of scheduling, but when the computer system crashes, no one is scheduled to take over the next shift.

The waiting room is packed, and everyone is exhausted, but due to a system error, Ella and her team aren't being relieved. After an exhausting day shift, everyone now has to push through into the night. While assisting a heavily pregnant teenage girl, Ella is startled to feel her own contractions begin five weeks early. Willem is the only midwife available, but he's also the least experienced. A nerve-wracking finale.

Linda is working with Mia to find the cause of her intestinal problems. She also heads up the pediatric ward and prefers that her staff keep their personal lives separate from work. This preference is quickly put to the test when a miscommunication between Jerry and Ella results in their baby, Vivi, being passed from one set of arms to another across the ward. Meanwhile, Lasse takes care of little Vinnie, whose sister Zoë is in a coma following a drowning accident. The team is on edge, and the incident deeply affects everyone, especially Naima, who is currently required to attend therapy with Lasse due to her own traumatic childbirth experience.
