In this final episode, the 5th year students are just days away from graduating but there is still one major hurdle in their way: their dreaded final exams.

In fact, some are being sent out into the field to experience a different side of veterinary life.Chris and Berit travel to Tasmania to gain some experience with endangered Australian wildlife. First, they have to health check a family of baby Tasmanian Devils. These are lucky devils as the species has been decimated by a deadly facial tumour disease. Next stop for Chris and Berit is to trap one of Australia's most elusive wild animals, the duck-billed platypus. If they are successful they will be able to help ensure that the platypus population doesn't go the same way as the Tasmanian Devils.In the main hospital, Susie and Erin have to solve a mystery.
