Roadkill

Peter Laurence, a charismatic government minister on the verge of promotion to high office, is celebrating a win in a newspaper libel case, but an inmate at a women's prison claims to have a secret about Peter's past.

Peter defies Dawn by announcing his plan to shake up the prison system, leading to sparring with his permanent secretary; Peter is furious when his daughter makes headlines, but must be wary of looking like a hypocrite on crime.

Peter is confronted by his family about his infidelity, resulting in pain and shock for all; in London, party chairman Adam de Banzie plots against the prime minister, and probes Peter about his ambition to be leader.

A leaked email causes trouble for the prime minister; Dawn demands Peter's support in public but, instead of voicing his support, he tells the world about his secret daughter which goes down well with the public but not with his family.
