Since his partner Clea went missing seven years ago, Michael Sleep's life has been on hold. But a mystical recipe in an old journal promises answers he’s been longing for.

Michael converts his shed into an alchemist's laboratory, but Clive is getting suspicious. Kacey invites Michael to the pub, where he says too much about his mysterious experiment.

Michael witnesses a crime and is questioned by the police. Meanwhile, Clive obsesses about a black rabbit, and Kacey visits Marvin Gardens and is shocked by what she sees.

Clive is seething when a truckload of steaming horse manure is dumped in front of Michael's house. Kacey comes round to help bury the jars and asks Michael about the hoarded boxes.
