Date de diffusion: Mar 04, 2004

McAllister investigates a vicious attack on two young teenage boys. Meadows' former lover Rachel Heath stands trial for assault, and threatens to go public and tell the court about their affair unless he agrees to help her. With his career on the line, Meadows makes a surprise proposal, which shocks Rachel to the core. Meanwhile, the pressure starts mounting for Manson when Sharpe implies she knows about his father-in-law's sordid sexual practices and fondness for rent boys. When Sharpe tries to blackmail him in order to secure her own stake in a case, Manson manages to find a hold over her when he discovers the details surrounding Meadows' and Rachel Heath's affair - and threatens to tell all. Gary uses his own experience to convince one of the victims to make a tough decision.
