In the car park, Ms Houghton unveils a tree planted in Shruti\u2019s honour in front of her parents and members of staff, describing Shruti as \u201ca committed and dedicated doctor\u201d who had passed her Part One exams first time, adding: \u201cDepression is cruel and in Shruti\u2019s case, silent.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile she was clearly doing well at work, obviously there were other forces at play.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the speech, Adam asks Ms Houghton (Ashley McGuire) why he said she was happy at work and says there should be an investigation. She explains that there\u2019s nothing they\u2019re able to do while the hospital\u2019s budget is limited. \u201cIf you want to change it, become a government minister because there is b******s-all any of us here can do,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n
He then speaks to Mr. Lockhart (Alex Jennings), who says that he should tell the GMC that Shruti mistakenly told him that Lockhart had greenlit Becky being sent home. When Adam is horrified by Lockhart\u2019s suggestion that he throw Shruti under the bus, he says: \u201cNo-one loses this way.\u201d<\/p>\n
On his way to the tribunal, Adam keeps picturing Shruti, imagining her saying: \u201cJust do it. You treated me like s**t when I was alive. What does one more time matter?\u201d<\/p>\n
In the tribunal, we watch as he says: \u201cI was working alongside an SHO colleague, Shruti Acharya\u2013\u201d before it cuts to after the tribunal, with Adam\u2019s lawyer revealing that he was not struck off.<\/p>\n
Adam meets up with Harry (Rory Fleck Byrne) for a coffee, with Harry wanting to talk about selling their flat. Adam breaks down, admitting that he\u2019s going through a rough time and feels incredibly guilty about Shruti\u2019s death. He asks Harry to be his plus one at Greg\u2019s (Tom Durant-Pritchard) wedding, however Harry isn\u2019t sure whether that\u2019s a good idea.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, Greg calls him to voice concerns over his wife not feeling her baby kick in her stomach for 90 minutes. Adam explains that it\u2019s nothing to worry about and then asks if his recruiter friend may have some job options for him outside of medicine.<\/p>\n
Back at the hospital, Adam sees Becky, who is about to take her baby home from the hospital and thanks him for everything he did for her, handing over a \u2018Best Doctor\u2019 mug for both him and Shruti.<\/p>\n

Adam is then called into deliver a baby whose shoulders have become stuck during childbirth \u2013 a serious situation that can result in brain damage if the baby isn\u2019t delivered within five minutes. He manages to save the baby in the knick of time by breaking the mother\u2019s pelvic bone with her consent. Tracy commends Adam and the two decide to let bygones be bygones.<\/p>\n
A day later, Adam gets ready for Greg\u2019s wedding whilst living with his parents and his mother admits that she just wants him to be happy. At the wedding, Adam bonds with Greg\u2019s now-wife, giving her a personal baby monitoring kit that will allow her to hear the baby\u2019s heartbeat whenever she wants.<\/p>\n
While he initially thinks Harry hasn\u2019t shown up, Harry turns up half way through the reception, having initially gone to the wrong venue. They decide to run down to the river with a bottle of wine and the two go for a swim.<\/p>\n
Adam says he is considering quitting medicine in order to give their relationship a real chance. Harry says that he doesn\u2019t think he would be able to as being a doctor is a huge part of his identity.<\/p>\n
We then learn that at the tribunal, Adam actually told the panel that Shruti had taken her own life, having found out that she\u2019d passed her exams but felt that \u201cthe idea of carrying on working in a broken system under shoddy conditions didn\u2019t feel like any sort of future\u201d.<\/p>\n
He adds that the profession is too much for anyone and the fact that midwives, doctors and all kinds of medical professionals go the extra mile every day for their patients is something to remember.<\/p>\n
Shortly afterwards, we watch as Adam arrives at work but finds a woman about to give birth in the car park. He helps her deliver the baby safely and hints that she should call the baby after him, saying: \u201cAdam is a nice name.\u201d<\/p>\n
