How will Billy and Bernie react?
Izzy advises Paul to be brutally honest about his disability on his Personal Independence Payment assessment or he’ll lose out.
Later, Bernie is horrified and worried about how Paul will cope when he tells her that he's applied for the PIP but it will take 11 weeks.
Meeting with Big Garth, Bernie asks him to flog the rest of their gear at a knockdown price as she desperately needs money. In the precinct, Big Garth hands Bernie a wad of cash but unbeknown to them a police officer takes photos.
As Bernie heads home she’s arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods. When Billy’s summoned to a meeting with the bishop, Bernie tells Dev that she’s accompanying Paul to his speech therapy session and the police will have to wait.
Meanwhile, Paul confides in David over how he tried to seduce Billy but he made out he was too tired and David urges him to talk to Billy.
When Paul tells the speech therapist about his recent coughing fits, Bernie clocks her concern as she insists they see the MND nurse who breaks the news to Paul that he only has 6 to 12 months left to live.
Billy is delighted when the bishop tells him that he's prepared to lift his suspension and it’s time he returned to work. However, his mood is short-lived when Bernie calls from the hospital.
