Overview
Dodgy DS Phil Hunter has PC Nick Klein over a barrel. Security footage of him snorting coke in a club. Later, Phil takes the undercover operation one step further by planning a drugs raid on the club. He needs two more insiders so Gary and Luke apply for jobs as barmen. Their experience is dubious, but Phil promises... ""Trust me"", he says. Would you? Hell hath no fury like Debbie McAllister scorned. Not only does she discover she's been passed over for the job as Acting D.I, but on Superintendent Tom Chandler's recommendation she gets bumped from the drug raid. Hmmpphh! One of the almshouse residents is now critically ill. When poor old Ivy dies it becomes a case of murder, perhaps the result of geriatric jealousy. And June is given a timely warning not to end up old and alone. At last DCI Jack Meadows and DC Mickey Webb speak to the elusive Anne Merrick about Superintendent Tom Chandler's past - and are left reeling with what she tells them. [Source: www.thebill.com]
