Continuing on with my 2024 rewatch I have reached this episode & I cried as hard as I did the first time. The episode for most the time feels like a normal Offspring episode nearing the finale, theres some struggles but nothing too serious, a family gathering where everyone will be together & celebrate the welcoming of a new life into the family... that's until a car hits Patrick & everything changes. This was one of the biggest & gutsy decisions in Australian TV history in my opinion with how well Patrick was loved but I also don't think the show runs another 3 seasons without a bold decision like that. The differing in dealing with heartbreak by Kate & Nina in hospital was fantastic acting & I don't think anyone who's a fan of this show had a dry eye left when the credits started rolling. A truly heartbreakingly tough episode, much like Mitch in 'All Saints', but I think it needed to happen for the shows future.
