Casualty S09E10 · Only the LonelyOnly the Lonely

Hostile rivalries at a village rugby match end in tragedy, and team medic Mike Barratt finds himself back in A&E. Ash, deputising for Charlie, is informed his case has been referred to the Crown Court and it doesn't help when Matt turns up at work in a foul mood. Jude's on hand to talk to him and he confides his family's having problems with his brother. Josh is back in his old job and Liz, his new partner, has an amusing first meeting with Mike Barratt on the rugby field. An affair and a brief lapse of judgement have unfortunate consequences for a son and father at the local swimming pool. Ash and Matt apologise to each other and shake hands.
