Happy's home life appears to be in crisis and it's rubbing off at work. His mood is not helped by having to inform a leading medical research laboratory that MDA won't be indemnifying a human drug trial they have planned. But when Happy meets the charismatic director of the laboratory, Professor Robyn Masterson (Sigrid Thornton) and hears her dynamic presentation, he has a change of heart.
There is a break-in at the laboratory, but Robin is determined it will not force any delay in the trials on Belinda, the teenage girl who is due to receive the experimental drugs before a kidney transplant operation.
