Episode summary:

Maxillofacial surgeons face a challenge as Susan's aggressive cancer spreads from her upper jaw to her eye and nose. Without urgent surgery, the tumour may become inoperable. And removing it will leave a significant hole in Susan's face, which is going to need complex reconstruction using bone and tissue from her hip. Raj Nijjar operates on 80-year-old Maureen to fix her stomach, which has shifted into her chest. Richard Irving treats Charlotte's a debilitating facial paralysis that has blighted her life for three years.
