New Ain't All It's Cracked Up to Be

Episode 16 of 52

Frieda forces new mentee Nicky to question what kind of doctor she ultimately wants to be. Meena puts her friendship with Nicky on the line.

Desperate to impress Frieda as the new Darwin F1, Nicky helps with the tricky diagnosis of her first patient. But when she is offered the chance to witness Professor Gaskell in action, Nicky's torn between loyalty to her department and her desire for validation.

Meena's first official day on Neuro crashes when she's ignored by Gaskell and temporarily traded back to Sacha's team for an underwhelming procedure. When Nicky's golden opportunity spikes Meena's jealousy, how far will she go sabotage her friend and reassert her position?

Xavier's dismayed when Serena puts him in charge of Sheilagh's care to teach him a lesson in humility. But does Xavier's arrogance hide an Achilles heel? And how soon before Sheilagh spots it?
