In shocking scenes, bodies lie strewn on the ground outside the surf club after Ryder and Chloe’s food truck explodes in Home And Away this week.
Bloodied nurse Jasmine, caught up in the deadly blast herself, rushes to treat the victims.
But is she OK?

From the outset, it’s clear Marilyn (Emily Symons) and Jasmine (Sam Frost) have been injured, but they manage to pick themselves off the ground and start helping others.

Ryder (Lukas Radovich) sees her arm dangling from behind some debris and fears the worst. With Dean’s help, they lift off the debris and discover she has shrapnel protruding from her abdomen.
There are desperate times, with Chloe in danger of haemorrhaging.
Even when she’s taken to hospital, it’s touch-and-go as to whether she’ll pull through.
Elsewhere, photographer Emmett (JR Reyne) is struggling with an eye injury, and it’s later determined he has suffered a flash burn to his eyes and may never see again.
Jasmine, meanwhile, after running around helping others, collapses, and it’s feared she has a brain bleed.
Ignoring their own injuries, Marilyn and Jasmine tend to the victims.

Mac, whose reckless behaviour is now widely known in the community, is horrified by the accusation.
“Mac is upset that people in the Bay could believe she could really do something as devastating as blowing up a truck and endangering people’s lives,” Emily, 29, tells TV WEEK.
“She’s definitely in a downward spiral, but would never try to physically hurt people. It’s a grave realisation for her that people really think she’s capable of such destruction.”
But if she’s not to blame, then who is?
