Iain, always a realist, knows the odds are stacked against him. With no immediate rescue available, he falls from the height of a multi-story building into a forest below, fully aware that his chances of survival are slim. However, he is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for Stevie, a close friend, rather than see her fall.

The intense scenes were filmed in a stunning quarry near Chepstow, overlooking the River Wye. Michael and Elinor performed their own stunts, spending two days harnessed and dangling off a cliff, adding a sense of authenticity to the high-risk scenario. Although Michael is not afraid of heights, he had to rely on the safety protocols and trust the stunt coordinators during the intense sequences.

This episode also delves into Stevie’s personal struggles, with Iain providing emotional support during a rough patch in her life. The bond between the two deepens as they navigate the perilous situation, and Stevie finds strength in Iain’s sacrifice.

Though the outcome of Iain’s fate remains a closely guarded secret, his potential death would devastate those closest to him, particularly his girlfriend Faith and the paramedic team. Stevie, despite knowing Iain made the choice himself, would likely be riddled with guilt. The episode raises the question of whether such a harrowing experience would change Iain, who, despite his reckless past, now has a family with Faith and her children. However, given his nature, a dramatic shift in his behavior seems unlikely.
