Fitzwilliam grills Okaro after his comments to the press about decriminalisation of drugs the day before. She demands he makes a public apology before taking him to a disciplinary hearing with the commissioner. He threatens to resign after she stops him leaving a meeting, only to discover he was comforting the mother of the boy shot dead the day before, and this move leads Fitzwilliam to defend Okaro's unconventionial methods. Ruby and Gary attend a fatal overdose, with the victim a possible suspect in a series of thefts investigated by Eva, but Ruby is saddened to discover the girl was one of her childhood friends. Des and Danny have a strong GBH charge thrown out of court, and Des suspects the judge may have taken a bribe, but he is the best friend of Jack, who immediately dismisses the claim. Brandon tries to push Cathy away after their night of passion.
