LIVING DANGEROUSLY
SERIES 1 - EPISODE 3


Warren: Delilah, you'll diet yourself out of existence. There's room on this planet for a little more Delilah, a few more pounds of Delilah. You can take up some more space you know.

Written by:  Amy Jenkins
Directed by: Sam Miller

 


It's a miracle that the flatmates haven't ganged up on Miles yet and forced him to listen to a rousing chorus of "Why, why, why, Delilah?" She's a nightmare. It's becoming all too obvious that Delilah has a lot of problems. She's bulimic, she steals, she lies, she's broke - and she owes money (along with Truelove) to some people who have given up waiting. She sweet-talks Warren into giving her some cash - allegedly to get her to a modelling assignment, but we all know she'll never keep the appointment. And the strangest thing of all - why won't she take off her clothes when she's in bed with Miles? What does Delilah have to hide?

At last, Egg is showing an interest in his work. He's been given a case to work on by O'Donnell, who warns him not to become too personally involved. The client, McCleary, has cancer which he believes was caused by some experimental asthma drugs he was given as a child. Now he wants to sue the manufacturers for damages - even though it's clearly too late. Milly shares O'Donnell's worries about Egg becoming too involved - and she's right. Egg falls apart when he hears that McCleary has died - it was suicide. The whole case makes Egg question what he's doing with his life.

Anna and Miles fight again - over Delilah. Miles knows she needs help but Anna is the wrong choice of confidante. He accuses her of being jealous of his new relationship. She accuses him of being willfully blind. And he is ... and that's why the house is burgled by associates of Delilah and Truelove.
