== Episode Summary ==
Hone takes Det Sgt Mallard to a room to speak, on their way Kirsty offers to call a lawyer, but Hone says it’s fine. 
Chris and Michael discuss losing the proposal. Michael tries to get Chris to spy on Bruce Warner for him, but Chris is reluctant. Nick shows Jenny and Michael an A he got on a test. Michael gives him money as a reward, to Jenny’s displeasure. 
Hone claims he came back 6 months early from Guatemala because of a family emergency. Mallard says the authorities weren’t aware he’d left, and that large amounts of medical supplies had been regularly going missing. Hone was in charge of the dispensary. He suggests he may want a lawyer after all. Kirsty listens outside the door.
Chris tells Meredith about his casual relationship arrangement with Alison. She doesn’t trust him not to still hurt her.
Kirsty tries to casually interrogate Jenny about Hone, but ends up telling Jenny what happened. Mallard walks out of Michael’s office.
Jenny tries to get info about Hone from Meredith, mentioning she’d heard they are dating. Meredith says nothing, and Jenny tells her about Hone’s police interview.
Chris and Hone are discussing the surgery they just came out of when Graham Whitfield, the anesthetist, tells them he refuses to work on the next patient as it’s too risky, and storms off.
Nick is trying to convince Stuart to do his homework for him when Jenny comes home. Jenny makes Nick show Stuart his A, and tells him about Nick’s reward from Michael. Stuart recognises his own work and is not pleased.
Meredith confirms what she’d heard from Chris with Alison, telling her to be careful.
Hone finds a recent case where Graham assisted in surgery with very similar risks, bringing it up to Chris who hand waves his concerns.
Stuart threatens to tell Jenny Nick cheated if he’s not given half of Michael’s money. Nick agrees to giving Stuart 60%.
Meredith tells Hone Michael wants to see him, and that people are gossiping about his police visit. Alison then overhears them making dinner plans. Meredith denies anything’s going on, going as far to invite Alison to dinner with them.
Hone tells Michael the police visit is a routine matter. Michael confronts him for lying and saying he finished his contract and seeks assurance that whatever is going on won't affect the clinic, and Hone agrees. Michael asks if Bruce Warner knows about it all.
Nick convinces Stuart to pool their money to pay for a dance party ticket for Kirsty. Stuart is reluctant until Nick mentions “extras” they could also buy.
Hone confronts Kirsty for eavesdropping and gossiping about his business, asking her not to do so in future.
Alison shows up to a restaurant with Meredith, but spots Chris sitting at a table with mates. Chris is cagey about introducing her, and lies about having a cold and going home soon, so Alison returns to Meredith. On her way to the bathroom Alison catches Chris seemingly going home with another woman.
