Episode Summary
Owen is preoccupied at work – his ex-wife, Laura, is seeking an injunction to stop him seeing daughter Katie. But his absent-mindedness almost has fatal consequences. Kirsty Winton is brought in with abdomen pains. Mickie accidentally misinforms Owen that Kirsty is not pregnant and they head for theatre to remove her appendix. But Owen is not happy when he discovers she is suffering an ectopic pregnancy. He first has a go at Mickie, but when Lola sticks up for her, he admits his mind was not on the job.
Elsewhere, Ric wants his old job back but Michael does his best to scupper his attempt. Throughout the day, Connie begins to realise her plans for SuperDarwin might be a bit naive.
Meanwhile, Tricia helps Mark out of a jam when she finds out he is homeless by offering him the spare room at her place.
