PlotEdit

As Peter heads to the hospital to visit his sponsor from AA who's had a relapse, it's clear that he's still battling the cravings to drink himself. In the hospital, he's shocked to see how far Jonno's health has deteriorated since he fell off the wagon and the prognosis isn't good. Back on the street, reminders of last year's tram crash are all around. Revealing that he's now been taken off Jack's birth certificate, Tyrone admires Peter for being able to put Leanne's infidelity behind them. But as Leanne makes plans with Stella for their wedding anniversary drinks tomorrow, Peter wonders if he really has moved on. Relieved to get out of the pub, Peter heads to the doctor's with Leanne to get her scan results. But when Matt reveals her fallopian tubes are damaged and she won't be able to conceive naturally, it's another crushing blow for Peter who struggles to find the words to comfort her. Aware he's on the brink, Peter heads to an AA meeting where he sees Carla. At the meeting, Carla speaks openly about her rape and how she wouldn't be here now without the help of a good friend. The pair exchange knowing looks, but when news is delivered that Jonno has just passed away, Peter's devastated. Back at home, he tries again to write his speech but with no luck. Peter reaches for the bottle.
