Liam tells Jess that he's taking a month off the booze. As he struggles to make it through a sober Friday night, he reflects on where his relationship with alcohol began.
Liam is on a date for the first time since his breakup. When his date asks Liam about the last time he felt completely happy, he is thrust back into memories of his adolescence.
Pressured to provide a congratulatory wedding video, Liam recalls a time in sixth form when, asked to come up with a basic film for media studies, tried instead to create the last great Northern "kitchen sink" drama.
After a bad day at work Liam talks to Jess and is forced to finally confront his mental health problems, leading him to remember the conflicting advice of two of his old teachers.
Whilst doing lines at a Tuesday night warehouse party with a stranger called Penelope, Liam realises he has a (overdue) mental health assessment in the morning, but he can't quite bring himself to leave. Has he always been this reckless?
