Episode 2 - Episode 2As Hugh and the hospital team plot to get rid of Nora, Hayley and Ajax are alarmed to discover they accidently just had sex. Worried about the danger Nora poses to patients, Betty and Hugh concoct a plan to hide any complicated cases from her in an abandoned part of the hospital. But when an accident on a race course injuries several jockeys, Nora’s first on the scene. Hugh’s on high alert, and stops her from misdiagnosing a ruptured breast implant as a pneumothorax. Back at the hospital, Hugh devises a plan – make Ken a honey trap, video it and then report Nora for sexual harassment. They get the tape, but when Hugh confronts Nora about it, she produces Joey’s toxicology report. She strongly suspects euthanasia, and is ready to throw both Hugh and Penny under the bus for it. Hugh’s left with no choice but to do a U-turn and relent to Nora running the show. Meanwhile, Ajax wants to propose to Hayley, but ends up getting very conflicting advice from all the family. Things are even more complicated now that Charlie’s living at the homestead, and is being subjected to everyone’s thoughts on her situation. Having Hugh around isn’t helping either, and eventually Charlie tells him he needs to leave. But Meryl gives Matt some tough truths about relationships, and when Ajax proposes to Hayley in front of the family, Matt decides it’s time to forgive both Charlie and Hugh and move on. Back at the hospital, Floyd’s run away and Penny’s come after him. They’re both there when a call comes in – Nora’s been struck by lightning. Hugh senses the chance to make a deal, he’ll say the incident happened at work so she can claim insurance, so long as she disappears for good. She agrees. Oh, and Hugh wants one other thing: a lease to the abandoned part of the hospital – he’s moving in. Meanwhile Penny and Floyd have a quiet moment together at the cemetery. Floyd promises he’ll try harder to like Sydney, but it’s got Penny thinking – maybe they’d be better off in Why hope after all…"

Episode 3 - Episode 3When Penny returns to Whyhope, she’s confronted with the chaos Nora left behind, and an old sci-fi manuscript of Charlie’s comes out of the woodworks. Penny and Floyd have returned to Whyhope. But the hospital is not how Penny left it – her office is hazard zone; moldy sandwiches, a rat trap, miscellaneous files piled high... And things only get worse the further she digs – it seems Nora’s been peddling Oxycodone out of the clinic, patient samples haven’t been sent for testing and to top it all off, Hugh’s now living at the hospital. Things get more complicated when Penny realizes Nora’s still recovering from the lightning strike in the wards, and is determined to carry out the insurance scam. But everything’s interrupted when they get a call out to treat a guy who’s been caught under a falling tree and now has Crush Syndrome. He needs a fasciotomy, but as they begin, the power goes out. They continue with the help of torches, but all of this chaos has left Penny seriously wondering whether she made the right decision to return to Whyhope. Eventually she confides in Betty that she’s not sure if she’ll ever be happy here. Meanwhile Hugh has a sudden burst of inspiration, and designs a new stent shaped like a helix. But his enthusiasm is quickly deflated when Trevor reminds him that no one will invest in them after the artificial heart disaster. However things start looking up when Hugh learns that Penny has been given a research grant from Sydney, and they strike a deal to engineer his new stent together. Back at the homestead, Charlie’s old sci-fi novel manuscript has come out of the woodworks. Charlie gives it to Matt to read, but he’s never been one for sci-fi, and he struggles to get through it. He leaves it with Ajax, and suddenly the whole family are reading it – and are quickly recognizing themselves in some of the characters. Meanwhile Hayley’s having a crisis of conscience. The boxes of votes in the shed are filling her with guilt, and having her parents over at the homestead isn’t helping. Eventually Hayley can’t take it any longer and calls the police to report the missing boxes.

They quickly discover there’s no survivors, and are terrified when faced with the prospect of getting back on their own light plane to fly home. So the pair devise a plan and sedate each other for the duration of the flight, and wake up when they’ve safely touched down in Whyhope. At the homestead, Charlie and Matt are being interviewed for an article about the Brewery. But when the reporter arrives, the pressure gets to them and they both become slightly warped versions of themselves - Matt’s suddenly a cowboy, and Charlie’s an entrepreneurial business woman. However they soon realize that the young blogger has her eyes on a bigger story, and is using them to get to Meryl. Meanwhile, Ajax has chosen to do his work experience at the hospital, but is alarmed when the three corpses are brought in from the plane crash and stored in the freezer. And that isn’t his only brush with death - as he later watches one of the patients he looked after suddenly die from sepsis. He struggles to understand how the others can be so commonplace with death and considers whether he could ever have a career at the hospital. And Ajax is not the only new face in the clinic - as Dr. Toke, the ex-army medic from Sydney suddenly shows up. He’s followed Penny back to Whyhope, determined to give their relationship a real chance. Hugh’s immediately annoyed by him, and perplexed as to why Penny would consider dating a guy like that. So Hugh decides to get the scoop on their relationship from his man on the inside - and Floyd tells him things look serious. At the Town Hall, an election recount has been called, and Meryl and Rod sit nervously waiting. Finally, the results are in, and Meryl is still the victor. Rod’s furious, and winds up having a heart attack. Hugh, Penny and Toke all arrive on the scene, where they discover he’s recently had bypass surgery. They bring him back to the hospital, where Hugh unpicks the stiches, opens his chest and performs a cardiac massage, saving his life. But the drama is not yet over - Meryl may have won the election, but Tugger reveals CCTV footage of Hayley moving the boxes outside the Town Hall, incriminating them both.

At the hospital, Hugh gets a call out to a farm where a woman is stuck in a hay baler. They bring her into the hospital, and Hugh attempts to diagnose her - but it doesn’t help that she’s unconscious and her friend doesn’t speak English. They operate and remove her spleen, but it doesn’t work - she’s still deteriorating. However they soon figure out her friend is speaking Danish, and Betty’s able to translate - leading them to discover she’s got a fishbone stuck in her lungs. Meanwhile there’s a new detective in town, Darren, who’s been brought on to investigate the corruption case. Both Meryl and Hayley are prepped by Celia and interviewed. It goes well, but Darren’s out for blood, and Meryl soon suspects that he is going to raid the homestead. She quickly calls for help from Matt and Charlie, getting them to destroy a whole lot of documents, and giving the pair a glimpse into just how corrupt Meryl really is. Things go further south when Hayley confesses to Celia, and she is no longer able to represent her. Sensing that Hayley is a liability for their defense, Celia strongly advises Meryl to throw her under the bus. Meryl considers it, but concludes that family is more important, and makes a deal to step down as Mayor in exchange for dropping the investigation. Darren agrees, but Meryl’s got one last trick up her sleeve - and she enlists the help of Hugh to make it look like she’s had a heart attack.

But it’s not going to be as easy as they thought, and Hugh first has to deal with an emergency call to a woman’s house - one of her kids is having an asthma attack. They’re finally about to go on their date when Penny remembers Hugh’s fortnightly drug test, and everything is put on hold when it comes back positive. Meanwhile Ajax has decided he can’t marry Hayley if he has feelings for another girl, and convinced he’s doing the right thing, he tells her and they break up. Hugh’s shocked - he never meant for them to break up, he just wanted to stop the wedding. And that’s not his only problem - he can’t work out why the drug test came back positive. Eventually both he and Penny put it together - the woman’s house used to be a meth lab, and the exposure has caused both the kid’s asthma attack and Hugh’s positive test. He and Penny agree to go on a replacement date, but the damage has already been done. Hugh’s convinced that she’ll always see him as the bad guy - and maybe she’s right.
