But it’s Rash Masum who causes most concern in the 12th and final episode of the Breaking Point boxset (which lives up to its name until the end credits). The grieving doctor plans to end his life in tense and devastating scenes. Can those closest to Rash save him?

Full Casualty spoilers for The Last Post below…

Dylan Keogh’s celebrations cut short

Dylan Keogh (William Beck) starts his shift jubilantly, convinced that they’ve seen the last of Patrick Onley (Jamie Glover), following the clinical lead’s very public fall from grace last week when his deadly incompetence and manipulations were exposed to everyone

But he may have grinned in glee too soon…

Disgusted, they tag team in taking him to task for returning to work after nearly killing a patient. 

Remorseless Patrick retorts that until the hospital board have concluded their investigation he still has a job to do. Although, thankfully, he’s sticking to administration duties, at least for the time being…

Rash learns the truth

Rash Masum (Neet Mohan) is at a low ebb as this episode of Casualty opens. We find him staring desolately at the hospital building before his shift begins, until he’s broken from his thoughts when a mother begs for help with her young daughter who can’t breathe.

He springs into action and races the girl into Holby ED where, with the help of Rida Amaan (Sarah Seggari) and Tariq Hussein (Manpreet Bachu), Rash saves her life. 

After the highly emotional life and death moment, Rida can’t help but notice that Rash isn’t quite himself. She pulls him aside, confesses that she is the hospital whistleblower and apologises for allowing Patrick to blame him, making his life a misery in the process.

Rash is nonplussed by the revelation and Rida’s promises that she will come clean to their higher ups, and tells her that he appreciates everything she did for his father Ashok before his death.

The grieving medic then asks to speak to Patrick alone…

Patrick kicks Rash out

Alone in the clinical lead’s office, Rash tells Patrick that he is the hospital whistleblower. 

Rash is passive as viciously-tongued Patrick gloats, the senior medic’s spirits rising at the prospect of salvaging his reputation with the board.

Triumphant Patrick then has Rash escorted from the ED by security! There are shocked faces all round as dejected Rash tells friends and colleagues that he’s the whistleblower and has resigned, effective immediately.

Rida speaks out

The news of Rash’s departure spreads like wildfire and eventually filters back to a heartbroken Rida, who tearfully tells her shocked nurse pal Jodie Whyte (Anna Chell) that she’s the true culprit. 

Determined to set the record straight, Rida lets Patrick know in front of everyone that she is the whistleblower and she can prove it. 

Patrick looks on in disbelief as Rida is protected by her colleagues, who all claim that they are also the whistleblower — he can’t suspend them all! 

Floored by the team’s ‘I am Spartacus’ moment, Patrick storms into his office and contemplates his next move.

Slippery Patrick’s backup plan

Shortly after these theatrics, bitter Patrick unveils his Plan B to a horrified Dylan...

Will Patrick once again get away with his dastardly deeds?

Speaking to What To Watch in an exclusive interview, Jamie Glover who plays Patrick says: "Watch this space is what I would say! There are some bad pennies who always turn the right way up and manage to suddenly slide out of a seemingly impossible corner..."

Full interview coming soon. Check back for updates.

Rash’s pain revealed 

After Rida’s confession, Tariq is eager to tell his cousin the good news, but he’s unable to contact Rash. 

At home Rash says a silent goodbye to a picture of his parents, puts a note on his bedroom door, and prepares to end his life. 

Eventually, concerned Tariq makes his way to their shared home — will he find Rash in time?

We can’t reveal the outcome of this tragic storyline, other than to say that Tariq and Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) battle to save Rash and stabilise him enough to race him to the ED, where a team, led by Stevie are waiting… 

Later everyone is devastated as they await to learn his fate.

Will Rash pull through?

Dylan wages war on Patrick

Meanwhile, quietly in the background, Dylan decides to stop Patrick once and for all — will he succeed?

Also in Casualty this week

Offscreen, paramedic Teddy Gowan (Milo Clarke) has a meeting with the hospital board (they’re certainly earning their money’s worth in his boxset) about his assault on Tyler Winterson (Robin Berry). 

With his career hanging in the balance, he anxiously awaits their verdict… but he’s not alone - his ex-girlfriend, Jodie, is on hand for support. 

Speaking to What To Watch about whether he’d like to see Teddy and Jodie reconcile, Milo Clarke told us: “Personally, I think Teddy and Jodie work. Even though they’re both young, they have real care for each other. Their relationship has the complexities, passions and hurts that all real relationships have. I like them together.”

Teddy’s optimism for the future is short lived, however, as Hayley McDonnell (Danielle Phillips), who sexually abused him in the back of an ambulance while he was on duty, turns up at the ED and begs him to drop the charges…

What will he do?

Jan Jenning (Di Botcher) invites Jacob Masters (Charles Venn) and his baby grandson Carter to move in with her for free, so he can continue working. It’s a decent proposal, but will the proud paramedic accept?

Finally, Dylan receives the results of his autism tests, against the backdrop of high drama and deep tragedy.
