KUED Programs

The team investigate when the body of an eight-year-old boy is discovered but, as they search for the paedophile killer, they are unaware that the culprit has placed himself at the heart of the child's grieving family. Dom's HIV test is negative, but in his relief he does something stupid which jeopardises Rachel's sergeant's exam. Sean thinks that he and Rachel are destined to be together, although she is not convinced. Janet is persuaded to give things a go with Andy, but finds herself having doubts.

Rachel is angry and upset about missing her sergeant's exam and about Nick Savage not being charged with her attempted murder. Sean tells her he has booked the registry office and, even though she still says no, his relentless cheerfulness makes her smile. Andy insists that he is prepared to give Janet all the time and space she needs, but then she gets home to find him already there, ingratiating himself with her mother and Elise. In an interview with Geoff Hastings, Janet learns much more than she bargained for. Rachel and the rest of the team investigate the brutal, racially motivated murder of a 21-year-old taxi driver.

The team investigate the murder of a sexily dressed woman with a green head. Gill suspects that the woman's lover may be responsible - but there is no shortage of suspects. Meanwhile, Janet confides in Gill about Andy's behaviour and Rachel struggles with Sean's latest surprise - he has a son.

Sean surprises Rachel when he tells her that he has been in contact with her estranged mother, who would love to see her. Unable to accept that Janet has ended their affair, Andy punishes her by keeping her out of the heart of the investigation - which leads to a painful row. Meanwhile, the team look into the murder of Leon Foster. At first, Leon's death looks like a typical gang killing, but the discovery that he was sexually mutilated raises suspicions that this could be a domestic murder.

Rachel finds herself on the wrong side of a murder investigation and is suspended from work. And while Janet's job hangs in the balance too, Gill is forced to re-open the investigation into an accidental death.
