Further details
Following his 15 minutes of Movie Star fame, Tim is invited to parliament to take part in a Select Committee for the new disability funding act. Way out of his depth, Tim bumps into a familiar face at the committee. It's Lily - the annoying disability activist from the film set. Lily digs up some dirt on Tim and gets him thrown out of parliament, prompting Tim and Ruth to swear vengeance against her.
Idris' mum, Beatrice, is visiting to keep an eye over his new business venture. Although she seems sweet and harmless at first, she gradually reveals herself to be an alt-right conspiracy theorist. Idris watches on in horror as his mum goes on a crusade to turn his bookshop into a temple of bigotry. Tim tracks Lily down and soon discovers all is not what it seems.
Far from the nauseatingly altruistic do-gooder she appears to be, Lily is actually a scammer, who uses her disability and fake charity to make money. Tim is smitten.
