There’s no better way to put your skills to the test than in the field. This week, Xander learns first-hand what it’s like to be a paramedic when he and Jasmine witness a serious car crash.
In tense scenes in Home And Away, the siblings are driving when they see the wreckage. Two cars have collided – and one of the drivers is Logan (Harley Bonner)! The local doctor appears unharmed, but in a state of shock.
While nurse Jasmine (Sam Frost) checks him over, Xander (Luke Van Os) races to the second car, where he finds a woman named Millie (Zara Zoe).
Jasmine and Xander stumble upon a horrific car crash.

Panicking, he calls Jasmine, who keeps Millie calm while he searches for the missing passenger. But what he discovers will stun him. What is it?
Xander races back to Millie, who asks after her friend. Xander chooses to lie to keep her calm, but her breathing becomes ragged and the siblings are forced to act.
Xander uses his paramedic experience to help the car crash victim.

As the pair try to save a life, police arrive in the form of Rose (Kirsty Marillier) and Cash (Nicholas Cartwright). They’re stunned by the events that are unfolding.
“Xander is ready for the crash,” Luke, 25, explains. “This is his job – he’s had training and years of experience in these situations. He leaps into action.”
At the hospital, Xander hovers outside Millie’s door. He can hear her asking about Jo. Rose walks by and warns him not to get too involved with his patients.
But he can’t hold onto the truth much longer…
At the same time, Logan and Millie struggle to recall what happened. But Cash later reveals the cause of the crash: driver error.
If Millie’s condition deteriorates, will Logan be held responsible?
A wealthy gambler charms Mac
With each successive poker night, Mac’s confidence – and profits – have grown. This week, she’s set to make more money than ever when a mysterious new player arrives in Summer Bay.
Mac (Emily Weir) recently helped Nathan (Ryan Panizza) pay off a debt to loan sharks. But now, she’s behind in her rent and her business is on the line.
When Nathan arrives at the next poker night, Mac refuses him entry – he owes her money. Nathan then introduces his friend PK (Ryan Johnson), a man with means and who’s good at cards.
He offers to triple the buy-in for a seat at the table.

(Image: Seven)Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) insists all players be vetted first. Plus, there’s something about him that’s not quite right. But Mac can see dollar signs.
“Mac observes PK is someone of status, power and importance,” Emily, 30, says. “She initially doesn’t warm to him and finds him arrogant, but also intriguing.”
That night, PK rakes in the chips. As Mac delights in another successful event, PK ups the ante: he wants to run an exclusive poker night: one table, 10 players and a $5000 buy-in.
Suddenly, Felicity is alarmed. Is PK all he seems?
