Lotte and Jacob have differences of opinion about their relationship. In the operating room, Lotte as the surgeon is the boss although Jacob as the anesthesiologist likes to think they are equals in doing different jobs. At home, Lotte proverbially wears the pants in the house, although Jacob doesn't like to think so. Their social world is shifting with Ben now starting to date much younger Alyssa, with Gemma still in their professional and personal lives, the latter as Lotte's best girlfriend. However professionally outside the operating room, Lotte and Jacob only associate with fellow doctors and administrators, the nurses too understanding under head nurse Annette's iron hand. Things change with the arrival onto the scene at Leeds Hospital of scrub nurse Mia from her native Norway. Mia breaks that protocol by insinuating herself with whoever she pleases, she taking it one step further in renting the house in the cul-de-sac next to Lotte and Jacob. Lotte and Jacob's lives are potentially further complicated with the arrival back to Leeds of Lotte's old boyfriend Leo, come home to deal with his dying father who has been admitted to the hospital. Lotte may need that extra emotional support in they dealing with Henry's declining cognitive abilities.
