Our Girl

- Season 2

(2016)

Our first glimpse of Georgie Lane, as a dynamic army medic in the field of battle, and in her explosive private life back home in the UK.

Experienced army medic Georgie Lane, goes on a six week humanitarian tour to help refugees in Nairobi. Minutes after arriving, an IED explosion forces her to jump straight to work, but also leads to some friction with local medic Kicki.

Georgie is taken by the terrorists, including the fanatical Englishman Abu Jasser and the kindlier Zeki and ordered to help one of their wounded though she has no resources or medicine. She acquits herself well but - along with Kicki - is used as a hostage in exchange for their captors' prisoners. Special forces led by Elvis are flown in to rescue them though James is worried about Elvis's involvement with his ex-girlfriend. Thanks to Georgie's ingenuity Elvis and his men are able to locate her and a rescue mission is launched, Elvis still at odds with James. The ...

Following her rescue Georgie is eager to return to work and to help locate the terrorist compound where she was held hostage and which, thanks to her, is destroyed by a bomber plane. Georgie is cool towards rescuer Elvis but he saves her a second time from an armed robber and explains his reasons for not going through with the wedding. He claims that he still loves her, which gets a response, before Georgie returns on leave to her parents and boyfriend Jamie - but she is not the only Briton to have returned from Africa.

Back in Manchester Georgie dodges the press and confides in sister Marie her lapse with Elvis. She is certain Jasser is stalking her, giving her nightmares which cause Jamie to ask James for his help. However the army's counter terrorist group believes her and is able to track him down to a bus, foiling a bomb outrage though again Jasser escapes. In her personal life Georgie finds herself falling for Elvis again and lying to Jamie, ultimately deciding that she should leave the army.

With a terrorist attack threat drawing ever closer, Georgie struggles with choosing two different ways of life.
