However, his party turns sour when former ward clerk Jodi Horner turns out to be one of the girls. Senior Neurosurgeon Professor Walter Thomas is obviously worried about Luke's technique in operating on a patient Heather O'Neil. Fearful that she may go into spinal shock, Luke shows his concern by doing everything in his power to ensure Heather has a smooth night. He gets Bron on side, and despite some attitude from Luke, Bron is more than willing to help him prove Thomas wrong. Luke calls on Mitch for a second opinion, and only walks away from the case when he is called to Emergency to save first Linda's life, then Ellie's. In his place, Mitch and Bron see the patient through the night. Terri is making her way to her car after work when she finds Linda Davies, the former pethidine addict, on the ground and assumes it is an overdose. Or is it? Von has an old battle-axe on her hands, in the shape of Dulcie Battye, who turns out to be an ex-Matron of a Sydney hospital. Miss Battye criticises Von's nursing - especially in regard to the nail polish Von has left on her fingernails. Von would normally take it off, but the old buzzard is getting on her nerves and she digs her heels in. When Miss Battye proves unexpectedly skilled at bonding with Linda the rape victim, and helping her settle down, Von is forced to change her opinion. Later, while doing her obs, Von learns that Miss Battye was a POW nurse in Changi, and while Miss Battye never mentions what her captors did to her, her easy understanding of Linda's pain makes it all too clear.
