When Linda drops off her sister’s kids for their first day at school and promises to pick them up, we know something will go wrong. But however predictable the stories are in this medical warhorse, the drama still gets its hooks in. This episode's redemptive tale is about familial duty and Linda’s distraction comes in the form of Bread matriarch Jean Boht (making her third Casualty cameo).
Boht is a spirited old lady with Alzheimer’s, who thinks the lad clipping the garden hedge is her dead husband. Behind other cubicle curtains, Zoe thinks she’s spotted a potential law suit and Tom’s bedside manner is being liberally applied to a woman with an inflamed liver.
