But, as always, she puts herself into her work and goes above and beyond for a young couple in Darwin who receive a tragic diagnosis: the lady has cancer and refuses to inform her boyfriend, but Lucky believes he should know, so she tells him herself.

Lucky, grieving for Kian and feeling forced into a corner, lashes out at EVERYONE for letting him down. Will it be determined after a heart-to-heart with Max McGerry that Lucky requires some time away from Holby?
