A furious Peter takes things to another level by punching Dr Thorne.
Unfortunately for him, the police soon come to the surgeon’s rescue and arrest him on suspicion of assault, and Peter is soon charged while at the police station.
Later on, Carla is desperate to get him out of trouble and tries to make amends with Dr Thorne but she is shocked when he asks her to dinner.
The Underworld factory boss reluctantly gives him her number on the basis he will call her about dropping the charges against Peter, and later promising he will retire with immediate effect if Peter withdraws his complaint with the hospital.
