Adam is first on the scene when a party boat sinks on a river and, with memories of Jessica and Harry still fresh, dives in the water looking for the casualties, with no concern for his own safety. When Alice tries to get Adam to open up, he rejects her offer of help, and emotionally shuts down. However, after dealing with a patient who is forced to give up his life, as he knows it, for the right reasons, Adam seeks out Alice and tells her he's going to see Harry. But alone, he drives into a wall and tries to kill himself. In a cruel twist of fate, Adam emerges from the wreckage unscathed. He laughs a hollow laugh - a man so unlucky, he can't even kill himself. It's Kieron's first day and he's keen to impress Jordan.
