Leeds, early noughties. One of Liam's best mates, Ralph, sees Rachel flirting with Whitey, the hardest lad in school. Rupert and Tinhead organise a fight between Ralph and Whitey for the following Friday.

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.

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.

While doing lines at a Tuesday night warehouse party with a stranger called Penelope, Liam realises he has an overdue mental-health assessment in the morning, but he can't quite bring himself to leave. Has he always been this reckless?

Liam lies to Jess about missing his mental-health assessment, and tensions in their relationship reach boiling point, leaving Liam suddenly nostalgic for the simplicity of first love.
