Meanwhile, after a chat with Tracy about Jacob being in same place as Joe Tate, Kerry quickly hurried to the hospital. She found Jacob on the floor in Joe’s hospital room. He told her he couldn’t kill him “but I wanted to”. He admitted to Kerry: “I looked at the machines and I thought ‘it’d be so easy’. I mean, it might not have worked, but I wanted to do something, anything, to make him suffer.” Kerry comforted him as she told him: “Ever since I found out he was responsible for the crash, I have dreamt about topping him. But you know what? Scumbags like Joe Tate are not worth it.” Jacob told Kerry he isn’t fit to be a doctor as they’re taught in medical school about being impartial at all times and treating people they don’t think deserve to live. Kerry insisted Jacob had to carry on and be the doctor his mum dreamt he’d be, but will Jacob get through this blip?
