Later, Xander is still disheartened over the loss of feeling in his legs and worries that it could be a permanent condition.
While on shift as a nurse, Dana uses Rose to help her try to improve Xander’s mood, but he’s resistant. When Rose brings him a pizza, though, he can’t help but crack a smile at their efforts to cheer him up.
When Dana then brushes past his leg, Xander quickly realises he has regained feeling, and the pair celebrate with a kiss. After an awkward conversation, they decide to get back together.
Could Xander’s accident help bring the couple closer?
