Rose (Kirsty Marillier) has been determined to learn all there is to know about her brother’s future intentions since since Xander (Luke Van Os) arranged up a date with newcomer Stacey (Maleeka Gasbarri). Xander, who is keeping it a secret, urges her to stay out of it. He rushes out of their apartment later, claiming to be going to a coworker’s party, but Rose is sceptical.
Irene (Lynne McGranger) and Leah (Ada Nicodemou) at the Diner accidentally reveal Xander’s plans to meet Stacey that evening while Rose is picking up dinner. To Xander’s dismay, Rose immediately makes her way to the bar and sits down next to him. She must leave immediately because Stacey is coming, insists Xander.
Rose doesn’t move, though, and when Stacey arrives and sees Xander hanging out with his sister, he feels ashamed. When Rose eventually departs, Xander starts to feel anxious. His stumbling speech indicates that he is out of practise when it comes to courting. He is fortunate, though, in that Stacey is forgiving and fascinated by his efforts.
An unexpected catastrophe strikes just as Xander and Stacey are beginning to feel at ease with one another. A few minutes earlier, Xander had noticed a man at the bar who was faltering a little and mumbling his words, and now the man suddenly falls to the ground. Having already decided what to do, Xander takes immediate action.
Xander switches to paramedic mode and asks someone to make an emergency call while he attends to the customer. Stacey observes, taken aback but also inspired by his gesture of bravery. As he places the customer in an ambulance and drives to the hospital, she follows him. She accepts Xander’s apology and his sincerity.
Later, as they both wait in the hospital hallway, Xander apologises once more for cancelling their date. Stacey grinned once more and assured them that everything was OK, but she quickly left, stating that she had to go to bed. Xander starts to have self-doubt. Has his possibility of getting Stacey destroyed by what happened that night?
