SHORTLAND STREET SPOILER: Summary of this Friday's episode

In an embarrassing move TVNZ accidentally uploaded the summaries for the Thursday (11/09/08) and Friday (12/09/08) episodes of Shortland Street before they screened. This Friday's episode has still not yet screened, so Media Fetish brings to you the following spoiler:

Callum arrives back at work, and is awkwardly forced to maintain the pretence of Justine's death. When Chris puts aside his rivalry with Callum to offer his personal condolences, Callum realises how hard it will be to endure peoples' undeserved sympathy.

Similarly, Hunter arrives at work and is taken off-guard by Kieran's expectation that he be in mourning. Chris is outraged that Scott-Spear have killed another friend and colleague, and he vows to Sarah that he will do everything he can to bring them to justice.

But Sarah now fears for her own life, and warns Chris that anyone who has come close to exposing Scott-Spear has ended up dead.

Back at the I.V, Gerald's heart goes out to Hunter when he sees Hunter being jovial with a customer, and assumes Hunter is in deep denial. Morgan is concerned when Gerald updates her on Hunter's strange mood.

Arriving home, Hunter's relief about being out of the public eye is short-lived when Morgan arrives, and he has to fake grief. Morgan consoles Hunter, and in a moment of upset about Justine's absence, Hunter kisses Morgan.

Brooke is concerned for a grief-weary Chris, and offers to cook dinner for him at his home. He is grateful for the company. Ethan overhears Brooke's offer, and is quietly jealous.

Tracey warns Kip that Brooke is in some kind of weird and secret relationship with Ethan. Kip is troubled, but his concern is eclipsed by Sarah's announcement that Justine is dead.

Before Kip and Tracey can ask further questions, she orders them to focus on their new patient - a woman called Jacqui whose face has been disfigured by Botox.

Jacqui reveals that the doctor who wrecked her face is Brooke Freeman. Kip is surprised to confirm this with Brooke, who is privately distressed at her alleged incompetence. She insists on seeing Jacqui immediately.

Brooke feels terrible when a guilty Jacqui worries about being caught-out and rejects her assistance. Ethan is determined to help when Brooke frets about losing her job.

Kip is impressed when Ethan unearths Jacqui's secret - she's been double-dosing on Botox. Brooke is grateful, but Ethan forces her to cancel her date with Chris as payment.

Maia deliberately assigns Tania to the Whitetail's assault victim, Mrs Norton, hoping to confront Tania with the violent truth about her boyfriend.

Although Tania defends Kingi, she is left privately shaken. Determined to help Tania, the Jeffries women give Kingi an ultimatum - give up the gang, or give up Tania.

Tania is furious when Kingi breaks up with her - thanks to her family. The Jeffries women feel they've helped Tania, despite her angry outburst over their meddling in her relationship.
