In upcoming Home and Away scenes, Mackenzie starts to be concerned about Xander’s friendship with his late colleague Jamie’s widow Kate.
In the UK, they will be seen on Channel 5 and 5STAR. Kate will be seen stopping by the restaurant Salt to catch up with Xander as she looks for comfort from someone who knew her husband well.
The paramedic, who was viciously attacked by the individuals who killed Jamie, agrees to host her for the night out of his desire to help, but soon the pair’s memories of Jamie’s life are bringing tears to their eyes.
The following day, Kate and her son Timothy extend an invitation to Xander to watch a football game.
A perceptive Mackenzie advises that, in light of this, it is time to face an uncomfortable truth: Kate appears to be becoming a bit too dependent on him.
Xander chooses to limit his interactions with Kate’s family going forwards, but she runs into him at Salt again needing a shoulder to cry on.
Mackenzie’s continuous, well-intended counsel about convincing Kate to give him space is subsequently met with hostility as Xander becomes enraged and insists that she should keep her nose out of it and that it is none of her business.
How attentive is Mackenzie?
