Monday, 22 December 2008, 9:00PM - 10:00PM - Too Hot To Handle Part 2
After the failed drugs bust, ending with DC Stevie Moss (Lucy Speed) riding away with Rob Towler (Bill Ward) on the back of a motorbike, DS Stuart Turner (Doug Rao) and DS Jim Rutherford (Michael Hodgson) both express fears for Stevie’s safety. Whilst talking to Rutherford, Stuart is shocked when he is told Stevie fell for Rob in a big way romantically when she was previously undercover.
On Christmas morning, after working through the night, Stuart and Rutherford are given the name of a passport forger, Trevor Sinclair (Simon Lawson), who is known to Rob. Bursting into his flat, they find an incomplete passport for Stevie and a badly beaten Trevor in a bath. When he eventually regains consciousness, Trevor confesses to being beaten by the notorious Manchester Tameside Crew, led by a thug called Malkie (Trevor Dwyer-Lynch), who won’t stop until Rob is dead.
Later, Stuart heads to a storage unit, armed with evidence that Stevie and Rob will be there. Rob, confused by the turn of events, points a gun at Stuart and demands to know who he is. Stevie blows Rob’s world apart when she finally admits that she’s a police officer but says she loves him. Slowly taking the gun from a stunned Rob, she points it at Stuart and tells him to get out of the way – she’s sticking with Rob.
The disbelieving sergeant attempts to call the station, but is pistol whipped to the floor by Stevie. After recovering, Stuart heads back to the station and is greeted by a furious DI Neil Manson (Andrew Lancel) who tells Stuart he’s too close to the case and Rutherford is put in charge. However, when Stuart later discovers Rob’s adoptive father, Alan Puttnam (Eamon Boland) lives in the area, he heads out again on his own. As he reaches the address, he hears gunshots ring out and watches Malkie and his henchmen shoot at Stevie and Rob who screech off at top speed in a car while Alan collapses from a gun shot wound. After the incident, Stuart is suspended from his duties and completely demoralised, heads home. Just as he is about to settle in for the night, the doorbell rings. It’s Stevie and she desperately needs his help.

DS Stuart Turner (Doug Rao) is shocked when he opens his door on Christmas Day and DC Stevie Moss (Lucy Speed) pushes past him to explain her actions over the last 24 hours.
The next part of the episode is shown as a flashback: After realising that the head of the notorious Tameside Crew, Malkie (Trevor Dwyer-Lynch) was out to kill Rob Towler (Bill Ward), she disobeyed her orders and saved him from the shoot out at the drugs raid. After escaping from the police, Stevie and Rob stop down an alleyway where Rob heads off to plan their escape and Stevie receives a call from DS Jim Rutherford (Michael Hodgson). She realises with horror that he has been behind everything and he makes it clear he is in partnership with the Tameside Crew. He tells Stevie in no uncertain terms that if Rob is brought in, he’ll be killed and if Stevie starts talking, she’ll be putting Stuart’s life in danger. Stunned, Stevie realises that she has no choice but to stay on the run.
After making arrangements to collect some passports from forger Trevor Sinclair (Simon Lawson), Stevie and Rob head to his house where they find him badly beaten in a bath. As Stevie calls an ambulance, Malkie appears and Stevie and Rob are forced to hide behind a door while Malkie receives a coded call from Rutherford, telling him to get out of the house. The pair leave and head to a storage unit so Stevie can collect her passport in an attempt to escape the country. However, Stevie is stunned when Stuart turns up and she is forced to pistol whip Stuart in an attempt to keep him from further harm.
Rob tells Stevie to drive to his adoptive father, Alan Puttnam’s (Eamon Boland) house where Alan encourages Stevie to expose Rutherford’s corruption and Stevie sends an email to DC Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) explaining everything. As Stevie and Rob go to leave, a gun shot is fired from outside and hits Alan. Screaming at his son to escape, Rob and Stevie race to their car while Malkie and his henchman continue to fire at them. They manage to get away and Rob drops Stevie off outside Stuart’s house, telling her where they should meet later, if she decides she wants to be with him.
After revealing her account of events to Stuart, he is shocked to learn that Stevie has tried to protect him all along. The two officers finally begin to work together to try and stop Rutherford and the Tameside Crew from any more murder and violence. Beyond this, Stevie is forced to make the ultimate decision - her career or Rob.
