Full Casualty spoilers for Supply and Demand - Episode 9 below…
Rash Masum learns the terrible truth
Rash Masum (Neet Mohan) is in for a shock this week when he learns his girlfriend is stealing drugs from the hospital.
The dramatic developments are set in motion when Jan Jenning (Di Botcher) embarks on a mission to identify Holby’s morphine thief. Suspecting the culprit works in Holby’s pharmaceutical department, the paramedic pays a visit to chemist Sunny Callahan (Jamie Marie Leary) and almost catches her in the act.
Realising something’s amiss Jan is about to investigate further when they’re interrupted by the arrival of cheery delivery driver, Terry Melville (Bill Fellows, Coronation Street, Whitstable Pearl), an old friend, who clearly holds a torch for the medic!
Later, still determined to get to the truth and unable to shake the sense that Sunny is hiding something, Jan turns to Rash with her suspicions…
Rash’s decision
At first Rash is shocked and defends Sunny, but over the course of the shift it’s clear she’s on edge and, when she makes a near-fatal error with a patient that’s been stung by a scorpion (see more below), he asks her to tell him what’s going on.
But he soon wishes he hadn’t!
Sunny finally opens up and reveals she has serious reasons for doing what she's doing - the violent drug gang have her son Jake (Gabriel Goulding) and are threatening to hurt him.
Distraught, Sunny begs Rash to keep her secret and not report her.
Will he help cover up her crimes?
Shock twist
Unbeknownst to Rash, however, his pharmacist girlfriend has come up with a desperate plan to get the ruthless dealers off her back.
Sunny arranges for the gang to rob the van of pharmaceutical delivery driver Terry, with catastrophic consequences…
Also in Casualty this week
Paramedics Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) and Teddy Gowan (Milo Clarke) are in for a shock when they’re paired together this week. One of their first patients is Mandy Butcher (Amy Du Quesne, Brassic), who is severely ill with a suspected overdose.
However, they’ve failed to notice something small but significant as they transfer Mandy to the ED — a deadly scorpion is on the loose in their ambulance!
Doctor Nicole Piper (Sammy T. Dobson) is keeping vigil by Cassie Woods’ (Charlie Ann Upton) hospital bed when an unexpected stranger turns up.
Despite clinical lead Flynn Byron (Olly Rix) doing his best to support the doctor during this difficult time, Nicole erupts with fury at the visitor.
Meanwhile, Nicole’s ex, Ngozi Okoye (Adesuwa Oni) comforts the doctor as events escalate and viewers learn more about what was on Nicole’s care file…
Who is Vicky (Kirsty Armstrong, My Mad Fat Diary, Coronation Street) and what does she want?
Flynn also has Cam Mickelthwaite’s back this week when they deal with a potentially dangerous domestic violence case.
As Cam (Barney Walsh) attempts to keep pregnant patient Amina Malik (Hemma Gulhane, Coronation Street, The Full House) out of sight when her furious husband Ashraf (Sagar Arya, The Winter King, Virdee) demands to see her, Flynn uses his particular set of skills to stop the confrontation from turning physical.
Jan’s not the only one who clocks that something is up with Rash and Sunny in this episode - nurse Rida Amaan (Sarah Seggari) and consultant Dylan Keogh (Will Beck) sense that all is not well with the couple. Will they start asking questions?
Meanwhile, consultant Steve Nash (Elinor Lawless) finds herself embroiled in other people’s problems - and we’re not talking about her patients.
And, finally, newly married medics Faith and Iain Dean’s relationship is hanging by a thread. Terrified she’s going to lose Iain, Faith (Kirsty Mitchell) signs them up for marriage counselling, with their first session taking place after their shifts end.
Will this prove to be just what the couple needs? Or will it reveal deeper problems in the relationship?
