Frank organises a games tournament as part of the continuing fundraising efforts for the hospital's new wing. Craig Thompson comes to the hospital to have a minor cut looked after but his allergic reaction to a penicillin injection almost takes his life. While Simon is reluctantly releasing Bruce (the baby possum) back into the bush, he and Vicky are met by Melanie Smythe-King who is rushing her son to hospital. Simon performs an emergency tracheotomy to keep the boy alive and when they get to the hospital it is discovered that Roland Smythe-King, who was never been vaccinated, now has diphtheria. News of Roland's illness causes Molly to reconsider her opposition to having Chloe vaccinated-although she is adamant that she will continue to raise her concerns when they arise. Arthur and Nan Ryan lose one of their two cows to illness. Esme throws a bowls match against Cookie.
