BBC Three - Back to Life, Series 2, Episode 3

Miri attempts to reinvent herself when she meets Billy’s family for the first time.

While the town prepares for Lara’s vigil, Miri is unwittingly taken to meet Billy’s family for the first time, and attempts to reinvent herself.

The morning after she was knocked off her bike by a mysterious car, Miri is convinced that John Boback was the one who drove into her, but her parents are not sure. When Oscar lets slip that the Bobacks are organising a vigil for Lara, Miri takes this as more proof that John is trying to ensure the town never forgets what Miri has done.

Caroline is also preoccupied with Lara’s vigil, and with Oscar focused on Make Hythe Clean, she decides to return to the Ladies of Hythe. This time she brings biscuits.

In a bid to put the vigil out of her mind, Miri hitches a ride along with Billy for the day, but is shocked when they arrive at his mother’s birthday party. After a failed attempt at hiding, Miri has no choice but to meet Gaia, who miraculously seems to be a fan.

At the party, Miri bumps into someone from her past who reminds her that she doesn’t need to pretend to be something she’s not.
