In a nail-biting episode of Casualty, the Internal Affairs storyline reaches a boiling point — as one trusted member of the Holby team is caught in a cover-up that nearly succeeds… until the truth begins to unravel.

This week, someone’s hiding something — and they almost get away with it. Almost.

The tension? Excruciating. The betrayal? Unforgivable.
The fallout? Just getting started.

🕵️ The Setup: A Missing File and a Quiet Panic

It starts innocently enough. A patient complaint comes across Siobhan McKenzie’s desk — referencing a mistake in drug administration and a suspicious entry in the system.

The records don’t add up. One key file is missing. But the medication used was signed off by someone trusted — someone the ED depends on.

Enter Internal Affairs.

Siobhan: “This doesn’t feel like an error. It feels like someone’s hiding something.”

🧍 Who’s In The Frame?

The spotlight quickly falls on a senior nurse (identity being kept under wraps for spoiler protection) who had access to both the medication and the patient file. Calm under pressure, respected by colleagues, and… just convincing enough to almost cover their tracks.

But Dylan Keogh, always one to spot inconsistencies, digs deeper.

Dylan: “People make mistakes. They don’t delete evidence unless they’re afraid.”

💻 The Evidence Cracks

IT manages to recover a deleted audit log, showing that someone accessed and modified records in the early hours — just after a patient deterioration incident. Only a few had log-in credentials… and one person left their access card “accidentally” logged in overnight.

Jan (grimly): “Either someone’s covering for someone else… or they thought no one would check.”

It becomes clear:
This wasn’t an accident. It was a cover-up.

😮 A Shocking Confession (Almost)

Cornered, the staff member in question is brought in for a quiet meeting with Siobhan and Dylan.

Suspect: “It was chaos that night. I thought I could fix it before anyone noticed.”

Siobhan: “You can’t fix harm after the fact. And you can’t rewrite truth.”

But before any disciplinary action is formalised, the suspect submits a resignation letter.

Dylan: “You think walking away will save you?”

Suspect: “No. But it might save the hospital.”

⚠️ But Then – The Twist

Just when it seems like they’ll leave without facing justice, another nurse — a junior who noticed something off but kept quiet out of fear — comes forward with a damning message thread.

Screenshots. Timelines. A voice note.

Junior Nurse (to Jan): “I didn’t want to get involved. But people nearly died. I had to say something.”

Now Holby’s HR and legal team must decide:
Will this become a public scandal? Or be handled quietly behind closed doors?

😢 The Emotional Fallout

• Faith Cadogan feels betrayed, having worked several shifts with the staff member in question.

• Rash Masum questions how many other near-misses might’ve been buried.

• Jacob Masters, furious, demands tighter oversight: “We’re not a team if we’re lying to each other.”

And Siobhan is left wondering:

“What else have we missed?”

🔍 Internal Affairs Just Beginning

The culprit may be gone. But the questions remain:

• Who else knew and said nothing?

• Is this an isolated case… or the symptom of a deeper cultural problem in the ED?

• And what happens when patients’ families find out?

Holby is about to be under scrutiny like never before.
