Meanwhile, Jo and Terry's investigation into the assaulted drug dealer throws up an interesting name in the form of Wesley James, who according to source is responsible for supplying a number of dealers on the estate. Rowanne asks Gary to organise a bust in an attempt to catch James in the act, leaving Gary starstruck – until his failure to inform uniform soon results in a major cock-up of the operation.
