The Flying Doctors : Following the amputation of Jim Spenser's leg, Chris faces a cold reception from the locals of Coopers Crossing; patients refuse to be teated by her and Baxter threatens to take her to court. The locals remain convinced she could have treated him without resorting to amputation. Meanwhile, Chris suffers from recurring nightmares about that fatal night at the Spenser's property and she has moments of self doubt. Later, Chris finds herself in the midst of another emergency when a young girl who is suffering from croup needs an emergency tracheotomy on a flight back to the Crossing. Baxter and the girl's mother are vehement that Chris should not perform the procedure. Tom talks to Baxter via the radio in an effort to convince him to support Chris in her decision to treat the girl. Meanwhile, the RFDS gets a new pilot when David Gibson arrives, along with his pet dog Zepplin.
