Paul flies off the handle at Billy in the café, arguing that although he had underage sex, he gave full consent. Billy retorts that, at fourteen, he was too young to do so. Billy’s horrified to see that Kel has picked Joseph up from school and is later puzzled to see Paul in the Rovers playing happy families with Bernie, Kel, Gemma and Chesney.
However, when Bernie hands around old photos, it dawns on Paul how young he really was compared to adult Kel. When Billy finds Paul in a state, he tries to get him to see that he was groomed and abused, but Paul insists that he loved Kel. As Paul breaks down, Billy’s rocked by the depth of his denial.
