Plot
In admin, Connie informs the team that the hospital trust have appointed an executive troubleshooter for the department and encourages them to allow him to complete his report quickly. A man sitting in a wheelchair sarcastically praises her speech and introduces himself as Ciaran Coulson. Meanwhile, as Jacob waits nearby in his car, Jet tells a police officer that she is Omo's carer. To Jacob's dismay, the officer concludes that there are no issues and leaves.

At the Food Fest Warehouse, Tejan delivers bread to Shai and Jarrod's vegan stall. Shai tries to speak to Jarrod, but he realises that the order is wrong and goes to return the bread. At the ED, David sees to Ushma Patel who claims to be "a bit under the weather". In Connie's office, Ciaran explains that Hanssen has given him three months to improve the department's performance and expresses his intent to develop a Rapid Assessment and Treatment system. He criticises her current model of treating patients, claiming that the world has moved on, and tells her to get to work.

By Tejan's delivery van, Shai finds him and Jarrod kissing, and she reprimands Jarrod for not working. Nevertheless, they all share a hug, and Tejan drives away. Jarrod tells Shai that he loves both of them, and he asks her if her stress stems from what she wanted to him about, but she decides to return to the stall. Outside the emergency department, Ciaran inspects the large queue of ambulances and suggests triaging outside to help deal with the stress. Jacob arrives late for work and explains to Connie that he was dealing with a situation involving his mother. Ciaran makes a remark about putting his own mother in a home, and Jacob takes offence, but Connie manages to deescalate the situation. Speaking to Ciaran, she suggests talking to the team before imposing his plan, and he grins.

At the ambulance station, Iain and Ruby are surprised when Jan arrives at work, despite being on annual leave. Iain points out that it is the day of Ross' trial, but she insists on working instead. In cubicles, Jacob treats Ushma. She suggests that she is wasting his time and tries to leave, but he tells her that he needs to record her blood pressure again. She notices that he is stressed and instructs him to breathe slowly.

Elsewhere, Jade and Marty tell Ciaran about the issues they have with the hospital, but Archie interrupts and orders them to get back to work. Connie reminds her that, while it is important that Ciaran talks to everyone, she still has work of her own to do. At the food stall, Shai informs Jarrod that she has missed three periods, and she takes exception to his nonchalant attitude towards the news, asserting that she sometimes does not want the relationship she has with him and Tejan. Once Jarrod returns to work, the stove catches fire, and he tries to put it out. However, a gas canister quickly ignites and explodes.

On the first floor of the department, Archie suggests to Connie that she is appeasing Ciaran, but she insists that, where Archie sees appeasement, she sees "just enough rope". Following the explosion, Shai desperately orders for an ambulance to be called. She comforts a burnt Jarrod and apologises to him. In cubicles, Ciaran questions Will and Jacob's decision to keep Ushma in the department, and Will claims that she has markers of sepsis. However, Ciaran dismisses his concerns and suggests that she is suffering from a simple viral illness. Connie asks Jacob to move the patient in cubicle 7 to the corridor. Ciaran makes a snide remark about her decision, but she maintains that patient safety is the department's priority. After overhearing the argument, Ushma decides to discharge herself and tells Marty to give her spare coriander to Jacob.

Tejan runs to the hospital, and Shai tells him that Jarrod has been taken inside. In resus, Ciaran claims that Jarrod has no life-threatening injuries and instructs Connie to prioritise the patients waiting outside. He declares that he is instituting the RAT system and tells her that she needs her to manage the outdoor triaging. Outside, while Connie announces the plan to the team, Iain asks Jan what is scaring her about Ross' trial. She claims that she is getting drawn into it all again, but he reminds her that Ross is her son.
