S1·E3 The Perjured Soul

Pye's attempt to rid himself of his wings by behaving badly goes spectacularly wrong, with George dying of a heart attack while also frightening both Dredger and Tanty. After his behaviour at George's funeral alienates many locals, he confides in Dredger of his secret that he has grown wings.

Agreeing with him that he must do bad – or even evil – in order for his wings to disappear, he sets about doing so around the island. But while it begins to work, his actions have a peculiar side effect on him, while his odd behaviour causes some to call for his removal and confront him.
