A young woman is in hospital, having been severely beaten with a tyre iron in a vicious home invasion, and the press are clamouring for information. Inspector Falcon-Price arrives from Mt Thomas, takes command of the station and clashes with Amy about how to conduct the investigation. Snr Sgt Tom Croydon is mysteriously absent, having uncharacteristically taken a few days' leave, supposedly to go fishing. Amy knows where he really is but she isn't saying; Kelly tries to track him down. Alex's son Rory is at the station, having another day off school, and Susie takes him with her on a routine trip to a farm to get some papers signed.
