Before getting in the car to drive, Nathan dives out of the way as a drunken Holly Cunningham crashes into their car, injuring Rachel.

As the firefighters approach to rescue Rachel, the car explodes in flames, killing Rachel instantly. Mac, Ellie and Alfie arrive at hospital to comfort a grief-stricken Nathan.
Nathan grows closer to Holly, eventually developing feelings for her. He continues to hate Cleo, as she has covered for Holly by stating that she was driving the car. He is drawn even closer to Holly after Ellie and their manipulative mother, Marnie Nightingale, lie to him that Rachel was having an affair with a man named "Damien" behind his back, in order for him to get over Rachel faster. He and Holly sleep together and begin a relationship. Nathan later discovers that Marnie and Ellie were lying about Rachel's affair, and that Holly knew. Although angry at Holly, Nathan sees her convincing Reenie McQueen to support her daughter Cleo through paedophile Pete Buchanan's sexual abuse trial. At the trial, Cleo reveals that Holly was driving the car that caused the crash that killed Rachel due to her being under oath, which prompts Nathan to break up with Holly and form a friendship with Cleo.
