Michael officiates at Roz's funeral where her boss, Jamie, feels guilty and rejects her daughter Chloe's offer to repay the stolen money. He is also involved when Helen's homophobic brother Daniel attacks elderly neighbour Carl for paying his respects to the dead Vernon because Carl is gay and refuses to repent. Michael calls a meeting with Carl, Helen and Daniel at which the latter not only attacks Carl verbally but challenges Michael's previous sexual experiences. At Vernon's funeral Helen defends Carl against her brother's bigotry, pointing out that, like herself, Carl's mother Brenda had a son who was 'different'. Carl, however, accuses Michael of hypocrisy.
