He comes round on the toilet floor of the hotel where the event took place, jolted awake by a call from Rash seeking his guidance on a patient.‌Worse for wear, Dylan scrambles to the hospital to begin his shift, only to be confronted immediately by Matty, who reveals he witnessed his father drinking the previous evening.Matty is deeply worried, though Dylan insists it was nothing more than a one-off slip. Dylan continues to flounder at work, however. While carrying out a procedure on a patient, he is struck by debilitating flashbacks from his night of heavy drinking, and is ultimately forced to step away from resus to compose himself, reports Digital Spy.Matty discovers his father in the bathroom and hands him some painkillers, as Dylan opens up about his own dad's struggles with alcoholism. Yet when Matty offers his support, Dylan rejects it and tells his son to leave him be.‌Dylan is given pause for thought while treating a teenage boy who has a troubled relationship with his own parents – yet he appears to believe it is far too late to mend his fractured bond with Matty.When Flynn later mentions that Dylan left early after appearing out of sorts, warning signs begin to flash for Matty. He feels compelled to tell Stevie that Dylan had been drinking the night before, prompting her to set out and track him down – though Matty decides against joining her.‌Stevie makes her way to Dylan's houseboat, where a neighbour informs her that he had rushed off in a hurry.
