A flashback narrative reveals that her colleagues at the accountancy firm have recommended she take a paid leave of absence on account of her increasingly erratic behaviour over recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>However, they ask that she submit a urine test as part of a medical exam so that a doctor may sign off on the break, which immediately sets alarm bells off in Rosie\u2019s head as it would likely flag up the illegal substances she has been using.<\/p>\n<p>After awkwardly asking her mother for some urine \u2013 a request she flatly refused \u2013 Rosie was ultimately able to steal some from her sister-in-law Ruby, assuming that would land her in the clear.<\/p>\n<p>In a shock twist, she discovers that her seemingly straight-edge relative, who has been preaching to Rosie about the importance of getting clean, is herself an addict of opioids and benzodiazepines.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\"
