Burnside recruits a team of Sun Hill officers as he goes undercover with Stanton, posing as his wife, to track down a group of property scammers. Carver is assigned to the team, who shows up late and is immediately reprimanded when Ackland reports the night shift found a bottle of whisky under the passenger seat of the Area Car after his shift. Burnside is furious when he works out Carver has become an alcoholic, and tries to make his old friend face his problem, but he gets another shock when his prime suspect's partner in crime is a face from his past, and when Ackland discovers this she suspects Burnside's personal motives may jeopardise the case.
