Santa's Little Helper
As Christmas draws closer, DC Stevie Moss (Lucy Speed) is delighted when DCI Jack Meadows (Simon Rouse) grumpily agrees to act as Santa by handing out presents to his officers. The laughter is cut short when Stevie and DS Stuart Turner (Doug Rao) are asked to work together to investigate a spate of burglaries where the victims gave their addresses when entering a competition at a Santa’s grotto in a local market. A sting is set up and, much to Stuart’s annoyance, Stevie suggests they use his young niece to help them. All three head to the grotto where Peter Garret (Steve Gibbs), dressed as Santa, has his picture taken with Stevie and Doug’s niece and, as they leave, Ricky (Jordan Clarke), dressed as an elf, takes down Stuart’s address for the fake competition. At Stuart’s flat, Sun Hill officers lie in wait and are surprised when Lisa Garret (Abigail Hood), Peter’s daughter, breaks in. Back at the market, Stevie is told about Lisa’s arrest and, convinced that her father has put her up to it, has PCs Ben Gayle (Micah Balfour) and Arun Ghir (Abhin Galeya) arrest him.
At the station, passing officers are amused to see Santa being brought into custody. When questioned, Peter swears he doesn’t know anything about the scam and that Ricky must have led Lisa astray. However, Lisa confesses that she and Ricky came up with the scam between them to pay off violent loan shark, David Crossley (Francis Magee). Peter, having just come out of prison and attempting to keep on the straight and narrow, took out a loan which Lisa secretly took on, fearing that her dad would attempt to pay him off through illegal means and end up back in prison. Officers eventually find Ricky, who has been badly beaten by Crossley and the hunt is on to discover the loan shark’s whereabouts.
After further investigation, Crossley’s lock-up is found and among a pile of stolen goods, a couple of fake passports are uncovered. Crossley is taken in for questioning and eventually tells Stevie and Stuart that he was selling the passports to an ex-con planning on skipping the country. The two officers plan on arresting the buyers of the passports, but Stevie is stunned when she sees one of the men is Rob Towler (Bill Ward), someone who she was undercover with for eight months and who was sent to prison for ten years. Alarmed that Rob is out of prison early, Stevie tells Stuart that if Rob is planning something, it’s going to be big and they should hold off to find out more.

Too Hot To Handle
DC Stevie Moss (Lucy Speed), anxious to get DCI Jack Meadows (Simon Rouse) onside to investigate Rob Towler (Bill Ward), tells him and DS Stuart Turner (Doug Rao) that she previously spent eight months undercover with Rob, trying to crack his big time heroin deals. When Rob was eventually sent to prison for ten years, most of his sentence was for slashing sixteen-year-old Sophie Randall (Aisling Loftus) across the face.
Stevie soon discovers Rob has been released seven years early as Sophie’s mother, Nancy (Mandana Jones) - an eye-witness to the attack - has retracted her statement and Trainee D.C. Will Fletcher (Gary Lucy) is tasked with finding out more. After much persuading from Stuart, Stevie finally agrees to go undercover but is annoyed when her old DS Jim Rutherford (Michael Hodgson), turns up. After changing into protective leathers, Stevie jumps onto a motorbike and practically runs Rob down in order to get his attention, but he is clearly delighted to see her again.
Later that day, Stevie and Rob meet in a pub to talk about old times, while Stuart and Jim wait outside. When Rob’s violent associate, Gordon McCardle (Michael Nardone) joins Rob at the table, disturbing the growing intimacy between Rob and Stevie, a worried Stuart follows and is shocked to see McCardle threaten Stevie. Rob warns him off and tells Stevie to meet him later so they can talk properly.
At Rob’s flat, Stevie tries to get Rob to discuss a drug deal happening later that day while Rob attempts to get her into the bedroom. Stevie begs Rob not to meet McCardle or go through with the deal but Rob assures her everything will be fine and seals the promise with a passionate kiss, which a stunned Stuart witnesses.
Elsewhere, Will tracks Sophie down to the garden centre she works at and finally gets her to open up about the attack. However, he is confused when he shows her a picture of Rob and McCardle and she identifies McCardle as her attacker. She explains she doesn’t know anything about drugs or drug dealers – McCardle attacked her simply because he could. Her mother didn’t witness the attack but McCardle forced her into retracting her statement to get Rob out of prison.
A conflicted Stevie heads back to the station and is angry when she is told she won’t be present when Rob and McCardle meet for the drug deal. Later, Sun Hill officers become restless when waiting for the drugs bust and certain that something has happened to Rob, Stevie heads to his flat where she finds McCardle, who lets slip that the deal has moved places. Guessing that McCardle, now suspicious that Stevie is a cop, is planning a hit, she is forced to take action and knocks him out before tying him up. Stevie calls Stuart, giving him the change of location and tells him she’s worried for Rob’s safety.
As the officers lie in wait at the new location, Stevie jumps onto her bike and tries to call Rob, wanting to warn him of the danger ahead. The team arrive at the new location where they find Rob on his knees, with a gun to his head and surrounded by drug dealers. CO19 move in and as bullets start to fly in all directions, Stevie screeches to a halt on her bike in front of Rob and pulls him on before driving away, leaving a stunned Stuart behind.
