While testifying in the trial of high-profile criminal Nick Hammer, Sophie is humiliated on the witness stand by an aggressive defence lawyer who calls her credibility into question. The case is lost and Joe gets into a heated argument with lawyer, Ray Jarvis, outside of court. Ray files an official complaint against Joe and Internal Affairs is called in to investigate the incident. Harriet won't lie to help Joe out of trouble. Her reluctance to help Joe may be warranted as Ray is soon found beaten in his home, claiming on TV for all to see that Detective Joe Hill was responsible for the attack.

An old unsolved case that has dogged Joe for nine years is reopened when a young woman is drugged and assaulted at a local beach. The attack is carried out in much the same manner as the murders of two teenage girls nine years earlier, one of whom's necklace the new victim is inexplicably wearing. The suspect in those crimes avoided prosecution due to insufficient evidence but Joe is quick to tie in the new attack with the unsolved crimes and begins building a case against him. Tension mounts when evidence links the suspect to a missing person case, the latest victim falls prey to a suspicious accident that could prevent her testimony, and the investigation is hampered by mistakes that could destroy the case before it's even built. With the investigation unraveling, Nicole, whose ambitions to enroll in the Police Acadamy are in jeopardy thanks to an incident from her past, volunteers to go undercover, placing her life at risk to obtain a confession and ensure the killer's conviction.

An elderly man is found dead in his home. His body is bound to a chair, his home has been ransacked, and a mysterious hole has been dug in his backyard. The Kingsway detectives are called in. Further complicating matters is a mysterious phone call placed from the man's home to the Kingsway station on the day the incident occurred. Joe believes the call was from a careless police officer phoning in the crime, but the call appears in Nicole's phone log having been dismissed as just one of a series of prank calls made to the station in recent days. It's a puzzling case with few suspects and no apparent motive, the detectives have their work cut out for them. Nicole reaches her limit with Joe. His inability to appreciate the guilt she feels at possibly playing a role in the man's death (as a result of not acting on the phone call) sparks her decision to move out of Joe's house. A controversial court decision by Harriet's mother affects Harriet's relationship with Sophie.©tzuk
