The discovery of slaves on the Pritchard farm has turned a murder inquiry into a huge, multi-agency investigation, bringing Dodson to Syndicate 9 to establish Gill's efficacy as SIO. Under investigation for the crash, a devastated Janet finds solace in Chris's calm reasoning, while the demands of the case mean Rachel misses her mum's funeral. When an incandescent Evie Pritchard smells alcohol on Gill's breath, she has all the ammunition she needs to discredit both the investigation and Gill Murray. But Scott and Bailey are determined to get Gill over the finish line, with her phenomenal reputation in tact.
