In the 2018 finale, Chris hires a private plane to fly him, the Hannahs, Damo and Leanne to his bach. However, the pilot suffers a heart attack and Chris tries to land the plane, but it crash lands and Mo has multiple injuries and Jack suffers a broken leg. Chris and Mo try to find reception to get them rescued but then Mo's injuries come to serious terms. When discovered that stranger Denise (who was on the plane with them when Leanne bailed) had the emergency phone, she threatens to shoot them all. Mo rushes her, and Denise punches him in the affected area, causing Mo to die just as the rescue plane arrives. Following Mo's death, Chris and Kate briefly reconciled but he found love with Zara Mandal (Nivi Summer), a cardiologist at the hospital. In 2020, he breaks up with Zara so she can be with Boyd, and he meets Michelle Beaufort, who he starts going out with. Meanwhile, his son Phoenix returns from Berlin with girlfriend Tess, and newborn Amelie. He is broke so Chris helps him out but Phoenix steals $1,000,000 from the hospital and does a runner to Santiago, leaving Tess and Amelie back in New Zealand.
