Officer Hayward is on the prowl, just a hair's breadth away from uncovering the truth, while Becca suspects foul play.

Further details

Sudden death, a mysterious dark figure, vicious squirrels and a race against time to prevent a confession that could bring the world down around everyone's ears, it's crunch time for Daniel and Dr Glennis. And We Cover Insurance is in dire need of a public profile boost, since Kenny West's albino giraffe killing spree has made the headlines. Only Daniel can save their bacon, but he's got bigger worries to contend with.

Daniel suspects the good Dr Glennis might not be as innocent as he claims to be, in which case they can add premeditated murder to their rap sheet. Is it time to come clean? Officer Hayward is on the prowl, just a hair's breadth away from uncovering the truth, while Becca suspects foul play (and rightly so) but can't stop her urges from creating deeply awkward encounters. Everyone has something to hide. But at least one person can't contain the truth any longer...

Press

The final episode of the dark Sky sitcom starring Rupert Grint, and Daniel's fortress of fibs is finally collapsing. With the treatment for his supposed symptoms providing some unexpected side-effects, could the mysterious figures he is experiencing be more than hallucinations? After all, it looks as if our witless Walter White-alike might ultimately be broken by bad news from Officer Hayward. Could finally telling the truth provide any sense of salvation?
