Insp. Gina Gold is in Supt. Adam Okaro's bad books for ruining the operation at the department store. PC Gemma Osbourne sleeps with Melanie from Marilyn Costello's club where she is working undercover, unaware that she is the insider at the store. Sgt. Craig Gilmore steps in when the store wants PC Kerry Young to pay for the ruined wedding dress, and Young finally breaks down over Cass Rickman's death. Under the pretence of helping her escape the country, Osbourne brings Melanie into Sun Hill, where Melanie makes a statement about Marilyn. The police raid the club, but SO19 are forced to take action when Marilyn takes her son Tommy hostage at gunpoint. PC Cathy Bradford assumes the worst when she is stabbed in the arm with an hypodermic needle. An HIV test proves negative, but she tells a sympathetic TDC Brandon Kane a different story.
