Leon manages to get Elizabeth an insultingly small role as a servant in a costume drama - it's the final straw for Elizabeth, and she decides to move agents. Having made the decision however, it's an entirely different matter breaking the news to the volatile Leon.

Matt, meanwhile, sneaks off to meet his ex-girlfriend, Heidi Webster. Heidi has written an ultra-violent, torture-porn, endurance-horror novel and Matt's old boss, Stephen, has convinced Matt to sign her.

Her novel, Stephen insists, is far from being, as Matt believes, a pile of rubbish; it's got potential to be the next big thing. But what will Elizabeth say when she finds out Matt's been colluding with his ex?
