Noel walks out the doors and walks over to a bench.
"Mary, can you just come and take over reception for a minute, please?" Asks Louise, before running out to see Noel. She looks around a bit, before seeing him sat lonely on a bench. She tries to run, but her high heels cause her to trip a little. She stops and regains her balance before looking around a little embarrassed and walking forward again. She calls him just as she reaches the bench. "Noel!"
Noel looks up. "What?" He asks. "I'm fine, I just needed a few minutes away, you know. It's a bit overwhelming you know, all this."
"We need to get back on the reception desk, Noel. Let's talk back there, yeah?" Louise states, before reaching her hand out for him. "Come on."
Back in Resus, Robyn is sat up in a comfortable position. She's finally regained consciousness. Zoe and Cal both speak to her, explaining what happened. Connie fills out Robyn's patient form. "We've got the results from Robyn's scan." Says Dylan, as he walks through examining the results. He takes Connie and Zoe over to one side for a minute, before walking back and speaking to the other staff present in the room: Rita, and Lily. "She's suffering intracranial hypertension. In fact, looking at her blood pressure, it's rapidly increased. She's got a hypertension. I have reason to believe she has another condition, actually. Rita, can you please give Robyn dexamethasone and then give her a blood test please? And fast-track the result, I want them on my desk immediately. Lily can we give her one milligram prednisolone, please? We need to lower the pressure on the brain. I'm feeling confident about her anyway. Her pulse is stable and resps have increased." After his speech, Dylan swiftly leaves Resus.
Back in cubicles, Honey takes a deep breath in. She opens her mouth, but just as she goes to speak Ethan cuts her off: "Honey, what brought you back here?"
Honey scowls Ethan. "I want my old job back and want to give 'us' another go - but that's not the point. The point is, Charlie..." But before Honey can finish her sentence, she is cut off by Ethan again.
"You mean you came back for me?" Asks Ethan, trying his hardest to divert the conversation and prevent her from dropping her bombshell.
"Ethan! Can you please be quiet? You're being really insensitive." Honey enunciates, rolling her eyes. "Charlie, what I wanted to say was..." She pauses for a few seconds; "...Noel's my father." She finishes.
Charlie's mouth drops to the floor. He stares at her, gobsmacked by her revelation.
