After his mother's cremation, Jesse brings his father, Thomas, onto AAU when he has a fall. It's clear Jesse has a strained relationship with Thomas, especially when he leaves his sick father alone on the ward. Jesse then bumps into Mo, who's own mother, Ina, is up on Darwin with end-stage heart failure.

When Ina deteriorates, Mo fears her mum will die if they don't operate – but there's a Do Not Resuscitate order in place, which prohibits this. Jesse, however, reveals Ina had just verbally withdrawn the DNR and wants to help – he's just lost his mum, he doesn't want Mo to lose hers, too!
