Matty and Kim confront their greatest fear when a training simulation, intended to model an encephalitis outbreak, unexpectedly spirals into a genuinely dangerous scenario. In a separate development, Iain suggests to Faith that they consider reuniting once more as a couple.

The fifth instalment of the series Learning Curve, titled Part Five, is presented as a programme episode. It continues the ongoing narrative of the show, focusing on the characters' professional and personal challenges. As an episode within the broader series, it follows the established format and style of the programme. In this segment, Matty and Kim are thrust into what becomes their greatest fear when a training exercise designed to simulate an encephalitis outbreak spirals out of control. The scenario, intended as a rehearsal, rapidly escalates into a hazardous situation, forcing the pair to confront the dire consequences of the simulation gone wrong. Meanwhile, a separate development unfolds as Iain approaches Faith with a proposal concerning their relationship. He suggests that they consider reconciling, implying a possible renewal of their partnership. This conversation still introduces a personal dimension that runs alongside the tension of the training exercise. The episode juxtaposes the high‑stakes professional crisis faced by Matty and Kim with Iain's intimate suggestion to Faith. Both storylines highlight the characters' responses to unexpected challenges, whether in a simulated medical emergency or in matters of the heart. The dual focus underscores the intertwining of work and personal life within the series.
