The final episode of the series features Peter Miles, who was sentenced to six years in jail for his part in a series of aggressive armed robberies across Bristol. He has now been out of prison for over two years and is determined to turn his back on a life of crime. Desperate to say sorry to his victims, he turns to Mel to help him find a way of making amends.

26 years ago Pauline Stepney was rushed to hospital to give birth to her daughter, 14 weeks prematurely. Pauline's baby's life hung in the balance, but while the doctors fought to keep her alive, Pauline was stranded at home, 50 miles from the hospital. Unable to have regular contact with her daughter, Pauline sunk into a deep depression. It was only when a stranger offered to give Pauline a lift to the hospital every day that Pauline was able to be with her baby. Happily, Pauline's daughter survived. But Pauline has never forgiven herself for not properly thanking the woman whose small act of kindness had such an enormous effect on her life. Show less
