It is the hottest day of the year, and the Emergency Department's two new Resident Doctors are put to the test.

Dylan is spooked by his past.

Nicole is reminded of Ngozi.

Two very different new Resident Doctors have their first shift on most warmest day of the year.

One of the new arrivals gets a little too involved in the case of a patient who is a frequently seen face about the wards, and the other gets off on the wrong foot with Stevie - at least until she displays a gift for clinical knowledge.

As the United K swelters through the hottest day of the year, the Emergency Department at Holby City General Hospital welcomes two new Resident Doctors to their first challenging shift.

Meanwhile, Dylan finds himself unsettled by echoes of his own history.

Elsewhere, Nicole is quietly drawn back to thoughts of Ngozi.
