They were one of Holby’s most promising pairs — student paramedic Indie Jankowski and her quiet, kindhearted partner Teddy Gowan. But this week, Casualty fans will witness the fallout of a deep betrayal that leaves their friendship fractured and both wondering: Can trust be rebuilt after it’s been broken?

After discovering Indie lied about passing her cardiac care module, Teddy gave her an ultimatum — fix it, or face the consequences. Indie did just that, retaking and passing the exam before Jan could find out.

But passing the test doesn’t mean she’s passed the emotional damage it caused.

🧍 Cold Shoulders and Awkward Silences

This week, we see the shift in Teddy and Indie’s dynamic immediately. Where once there was ease, now there’s awkwardness. Shared jokes fall flat. Eye contact is avoided. Silence fills their ambulance rides.

Indie (half-joking): “Are you gonna give me the silent treatment forever?”
Teddy (quietly): “No. Just until I stop feeling like an idiot.”

It stings. But it’s honest.

💬 Teddy’s Perspective: “You Didn’t Trust Me”

Later in the locker room, Teddy finally opens up to Cam Mickelthwaite, who’s been trying to mediate between the two.

Teddy: “It’s not just that she lied. It’s that she didn’t trust me enough to handle the truth. We’re meant to be a team.”

Cam tries to soften things — “She panicked. She’s been through a lot.” — but Teddy’s pain runs deeper than disappointment. It’s the hurt of being shut out by someone he supported from day one.

😢 Indie’s Guilt Grows

Indie, meanwhile, isn’t defensive. She’s devastated. But she doesn’t know how to fix what she broke.

Indie (to Faith): “I lied because I didn’t want to look like a failure. And now I feel like one anyway.”

She considers a written apology. Cam talks her out of it.

Cam: “You can’t email your way out of this. You’ve got to show him you’re still worth trusting.”

🚨 A Life-or-Death Moment Reignites the Bond

When the team is called to a multiple-casualty road accident, Teddy and Indie are forced to work together under pressure — no time to talk, no space for emotions, just instinct and trust.

A patient begins crashing during transport, and Indie instinctively leads the resus — clear, focused, and flawless.

Afterwards, Teddy is quiet.

Teddy (finally): “That was textbook. Confident. No hesitation.”
Indie: “Because I passed it — for real this time.”
Teddy (softly): “Yeah. I know.”

It’s a step. Not full reconciliation. But recognition.

🧠 Trust Is Earned, Not Repaired Overnight

Back at Holby, Jodie asks Teddy if they’re “all good again.”

Teddy: “No. But we’re getting there.”

And that’s the truth. Indie’s lie didn’t just threaten their friendship — it undermined the trust that makes life-or-death decisions possible. Repairing that will take time, patience, and honesty.

💬 A Pivotal Scene: Indie’s Apology

At the end of the episode, Indie sits with Teddy in the ambulance bay — no patients, no chaos, just words that needed to be said.

Indie: “I was scared. Not of the test — of you seeing me fail. Because I didn’t want you to see what I already felt.”

Teddy: “I never needed you to be perfect. I just needed you to be real with me.”

She nods. He smiles. It’s tentative — but it’s enough.

🔮 What’s Next for Indie & Teddy?

• They’re not back to normal yet — and that’s okay. Casualty is taking a realistic approach to how broken trust heals slowly.

• Indie may begin to overcompensate, trying too hard to prove herself.

• A future storyline could test their bond again — and this time, it’ll be Teddy’s turn to falter.

But the foundation is still there. And fans can root for a rebuild, not just a reset.
