An open casting for actors in a period biopic leads Tim to a role as an extra, which quickly turns to him replacing James Norton as the disabled lead, with chaotic results.

Tim gets scouted as a drug dealer but soon realises it isn't as fun as it looks on TV, while Ruth is left to look after his new care dog, Snuffles.

Tim is out of his depth when he takes part in a select committee for the new disability funding act, but he is distracted by a familiar face, who reveals all is not as it seems.
