Tired of feeling excluded and derided by the rest of society, Adam is thrilled to meet Leon, who's keen to get married at St Saviour's.

Leon sees past the dog collar and a friendship develops, with the pair sharing pints in the local pub and even jogging together. However, the romance comes to a crashing halt at an embarrassing vicarage dinner party when Adam discovers that his wife, Alex, went to college with Leon - and that they had done something naughty in a rather surprising place.

Guest starring Colin Salmon as Leon.
