His son Simon also points out to his dad that a hundred grand could change their lives forever.
As Peter begins to waver, Thorne clocks their exchange. Meanwhile Peter meets up with nurse Tricia and, realising she can’t offer any new evidence, confides he’s thinking of giving up the fight.

Then Thorne meets Peter in the pub and orders him not to undo all his skilled work and embrace the second chance he has to live. As Thorne gets into his car Peter can no longer contain his rage and angrily confronts him.
