Dana is on patrol when Xander approaches, but she barely has time to be angry with him before Harper arrives with life-changing news – she’s pregnant. The sisters escape to discuss the situation and while Harper keeps her cool, Dana is panicked.
Harper explains that it’s complicated and Tane is the father. She doesn’t know what she’s going to do yet, but she’s counting on her sister’s support.
When Harper does get a moment with Tane later, Perri steals his focus. Before she can say anything, he’s gone. When she tries to talk to him again the next morning, he’s even more distracted as Perri is missing.
Perri has been dodging calls from his dad for days, and he’s not happy that Tane told Rose about his situation – the last thing he wanted was the police involved. Tane is frantic over the possibility that Perri has gone back to his dad. It clicks for Harper that she won’t be sharing any big news today. Will she get the chance to tell Tane about the baby?
Meanwhile, in the surf, Theo sees Xander take a knock to the head and springs into action, dragging his mate to shore. Dana forgets their fight for a minute and rushes to his side. She watches on with bated breath as Bree gives him the good news – there are no fractures and he should be fine soon.
When Xander goes to remove his neck brace though, Xander stops her and reveals that he can’t feel his legs. Dana’s eyes widen with fear for the man she loves. When he sees her though, he lashes out, telling her to leave and insisting that he’s not her problem anymore.
This doesn’t deter Dana from staying all night, and with Rose’s encouragement, she goes in to see Xander again. She promises to go if he wants her to, but as she turns to leave, Xander begs her to stay.
