It’s an agonising time for the Barlows, who feel utterly helpless as Peter carries on drinking.

But after the despair comes a glimmer of hope, as the self-destructive dad admits this isn’t the life he wants. Question is, can he convince Carla to help him on his rocky road to recovery?

At the start of the week, Ken takes matters into his own hands. Circulating Peter’s photo to pubs and shops, he kindly asks the staff not to serve his son alcohol. But Peter rolls in drunk regardless.
