This Friday's episode on Channel 5 (September 27) ends on a disturbing cliffhanger as Felicity collapses during the surprise engagement party she has organised for her brother Cash and best friend Eden Fowler.

Bree Cameron later informs Cash and Eden that Felicity has suffered a second hemorrhage that cannot be repaired surgically.

In one of the most difficult moments of her professional life, Bree tells her patient that the second hemorrhage may have led to brain death.
