But Peter refused any treatment and announced he wanted to die on his own terms.
Next week, Pete finds Peter stumbling and slurring his words when he fails to show up for his shift on the switch.
Steve is disgusted by his apparent state of drunkenness and stops his leaving his home.
Peter tries to tell Steve that he’s sober but unwell, but Steve refuses to believe him and locks Peter inside.
Later, Peter grows increasingly ill and tries to drag himself to the front door but collapses.
Meanwhile, Carla and Lucas head back from town and arrive to the news that Peter has been rushed to hospital drunk.
When Peter wakes up in hospital, he promises Carla that he hasn’t been drinking, but she’s not convinced.
Lucas arrives and asks Carla to return to Devon with him.
She’s shocked when Steve urges her to go – and abandon Peter.
Peter begs Carla to believe him, but she announces she can’t spend the rest of her life like this.
She’s taken aback, however, when the consultant interrupts and explains that Peter’s disorientation was caused by toxins arising from his liver failure – and not from alcohol.
Carla is horrified and asks Peter to forgive her, but he tells her not to stay with him out of pity.
