== Episode Summary ==
Nick and Stuart awake in a potentially dangerous position. Is the mysterious visitor on a mission from Sir Bruce? Jaki is dealt a serious dilemma.
Episode Summary: Sonia tells Jaki that her nightmares are real, that she’s remembering waking up during surgery. Jaki explains lots of people have false memories following a surgery, but Sonia is not convinced.
Tom and Marj are worried sick about Stuart who’s still not home from the party. Tom calls the hospital but gets no news. Jenny calls to check in, Nick’s not back either. Her and Tom decide to go to work, Marj stays home.
With no one at reception a flustered Jaki confuses a journalist, Luke Campbell, for a patient. He has an appointment with Michael. 
Short staffed, Carrie suggests getting Alison in to work. Chris hurriedly says they’ll be fine. Jaki comes in and tells them about Sonia’s dream. They tell Jaki the surgery went fine, and Carrie agrees to “clean up for the boys” when Chris asks her to talk to Sonia.
Luke finishes his meeting with Michael, who tells Jenny he’s there to write a “day in the life” article on the clinic. She gives Luke a tour after telling Michael about Nick not coming home. Michael gives Jenny his pager so she can get any news on Nick straight away.
Nick and Stuart wake up in their car, which looks to have almost flown off a cliff, but been saved by a pole. Neither of them remember how they got there, but Nick remembers hot wiring the car, since Kirsty took the keys.
Carrie denies Luke’s attempt to interview her, and tells Jaki to answer his questions instead. Kirsty arrives at work but has no answers for Jenny when asked where Nick and Stuart are. 
Carrie talks to Sonia and appears to convince her that she’s just been imagining things, and she didn’t really wake up on the table.
Jaki answers Luke’s questions, including ones about the frantic pace and health of the clinic staff. They walk into the staff room where Chris finishes an angry conversation on the phone. He can’t get a refund for his Waiheke hotel, and can’t get ahold of Alison, who’s supposed to be on standby, and rushes out the door. Luke continues interrogating Jaki.
Nick and Stuart meet Kirsty at the clinic. They argue about how they’re going to explain things to their parents when Tom arrives in the ambulance. He yells at Stuart to go home, and asks Kirsty to call and tell Marj he’s alright. Nick asks Kirsty not to say anything to Jenny.
Michael chats to Chris about his father’s plans to shut down Shortland Street, and tries to get info out of him, but Chris stands firm. Jenny tells Michael Nick’s been spotted but is keeping his distance. He says she can go home to see him, but on her way out Jenny has a thought about Bruce overhearing her phone call about HIV infected staff. They both realise the journalist has probably been sent by Bruce to dig up dirt, and Michael rushes out to find him.
Michael tells Luke he needs Jaki for an emergency. Luke suggests he look around himself but Michael tells him that’s against clinic policy, to leave his number with Kirsty, and to go. On his way out Luke invites Jaki for coffee after work to continue their conversation, she agrees. 
Jenny comes down hard on Nick at home. Nick tells her a far fetched sob story about bikers and a petrol bomb, to which Jenny rolls her eyes.
Jaki ends up telling Sonia she believes her nightmares were actually real, after Sonia recalls Chris discussing his Waiheke weekend plans with Alison during the surgery. Sonia is distressed.
Marj is extremely disappointed with Stuart when he fails to give a reasonable explanation for where he was. Tom walks in with a bottle of pills, and asks Stuart to explain why he found them on the floor of the car.
