Crewmates Joe and Hayley attend a number of emergencies, including a baby who is not responding, a centenarian who has had a fall, and a patient who has jumped off a bridge.

Crewmates Paula and Phil attend a patient who is feeling suicidal, and the call-out takes a worrying turn when the patient begins hallucinating in the back of the ambulance.
