Storyline

Pete runs over a cat but claims that he found its corpse to get in with the cat's owner Mel,whom he helps bury it. When a guilty Pete talks in his sleep about killing and Mel hears him he pretends to be an army veteran,the scars on his leg from a drunken fall being caused by shrapnel. In fact Mel's brother Tom is an ex-soldier traumatised in Afghanistan and Pete is called upon to counsel him - which he does,claiming to be a hero and giving Tom a new lease of life. Unfortunately when Mel and Tom find out the true fate of the cat as well as Pete's other lies Tom regresses and threatens to jump off a building. This is Pete's chance to prove he is a hero but inevitably he fails and Jake saves the day.
