Upon return to Sun Hill after going on the Undercover Training course, Beth teams up with Sally. The pair find a man, Alan Marlowe, beaten up in an alleyway of a known red light district. CCTV shows him arguing with his stepdaughter, Lucy Burton. When her mother confesses to the assault, Lucy intervenes and admits she assaulted her stepfather. She explains to Beth that Alan attacked Lucy's mother for every time she tried to contact her, but her mother won't make a statement. Sally tells Beth she thinks she got too involved with Lucy.
