The Bill: Sgt June Ackland threatens to expose PC Gabriel Kent's true identity, but Kent insists he loves her and his job. Ackland agrees to a compromise, she will keep quiet about Kent's assumed identity if he gives her the address of the real Gabriel Kent: her son, Robert Ackland. Kent refuses, but eventually relents when he realises June is serious. Posing as a housebuyer, "June Carver", an emotional June Ackland visits her long-lost son and meets her grand-daughter, but she is too afraid to tell him her real identity. DS Samantha Nixon grudgingly works with DI Neil Manson to locate dangerous escaped convict Eric Taylor, who has already eluded police twice. When Taylor is spotted, PC Jim Carver pursues him into a swimming pool complex, and the two end up in the water. PC Kent watches as the two struggle, and is going to let Jim drown until other officers arrive. When his former lover, Rachel Heath, arrives at the station on the eve of her trial for assault and pregnant with his child, DCI Jack Meadows is intrigued to discover that DI Manson's father-in-law, a Deputy Assistant Commissioner with the Met, uses rent boys.
