Casualty<\/a> spoilers follow for Saturday\u2019s episode (24 January), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn\u2019t yet aired on TV. This article contains storyline details that some viewers may prefer to avoid.<\/p>\n

Casualty has aired a devastating twist involving Siobhan McKenzie, in the latest episode of the current boxset, \u2018Learning Curve\u2019<\/a>. Siobhan takes centre stage this week as she vows to help save the hospital after a chaotic chain of events during a surprise inspection, but everything changes in a dramatic final scene\u2026<\/p>\n

New resident doctor Matty<\/a> made a complaint about the hospital to the Care Quality Commission after his first shift. He later realised he had made a mistake and attempted to take back his comments \u2013 but it was too late, as in today\u2019s episode, the CQC showed up at the ED unannounced.<\/p>\n

Flynn and Siobhan were met by regulator Ceri, who explained that concerns have been raised following the death of a patient, and she would be carrying out a spot safety inspection<\/a> as a result.<\/p>\n

Ceri moved through the department, observing what was going on and asking questions, but things soon went wrong in the ED, giving her more cause for concern.<\/p>\n

Dylan clashed with Matty in resus when he asked the newcomer to find bolt cutters to untether a handcuffed patient \u2013 but Ceri noted that Matty had missed a training opportunity.<\/p>\n

Things went from bad to worse as the shift continued; radiology suffered a technical failure, Kim lost a child in the hospital, and a patient\u2019s life was at risk after Matty took the batteries out of a laryngoscope to help his fellow resident. <\/p>\n

When Ceri asked Dylan for a replacement laryngoscope, he snapped at her for disturbing him during a procedure, rounding off what proved to be a disastrous day in the ED.<\/p>\n

Ceri officially triggered a full inspection, explaining that she would return to the department in 30 days to see if things have improved. Flynn rallied the team<\/a> and promised that everyone\u2019s jobs would be safe regardless \u2013 as he will resign immediately if they fail the inspection.<\/p>\n

Later, Siobhan told Flynn to go to his daughter\u2019s birthday party, offering to stay and take care of all the paperwork that urgently needed doing.<\/p>\n

She worked into late into the night before deciding to walk home instead of using the money that Flynn gave her. Siobhan left a voicemail for Flynn \u2013 then in a horrifying twist, she was pushed to the ground by a mysterious stranger, with her screams heard in the closing seconds of the episode.<\/p>\n

What has happened to Siobhan, and will she be okay?<\/p>\n
