Phil's devious ways are catching up with him - Meadows and Okaro execute raids on known fences in the area before Phil has time to warn Ron Gregory, the local crime boss who pays him off. HHis attractive, long-suffering wife attracts Gregory's attention, and instead of the payback he was expecting, Phil has to deal with an unusual request to keep his head off the chopping block. An alibi from a prostitute takes Simon Kitson out of suspicion as the serial killer, leaving Sam to follow some of her own theories. When Duncan can't get anything further out of Simon's sister Pat, Sam takes over, and is surprised by what she discovers. But is her curiosity leading her into a dangerous situation? Luke is persuaded to celebrate his "last night of freedom" and Gilmore reluctantly joins the boys for a drink, while Robbie, Gina and Gemma surprise Kerry at home - booze in hand and ready for fun.

It's the morning of the wedding, and Robbie arrives with news that the reception has been cancelled because the pub was subject to one of the station's stolen goods raids and has been closed. Gina, having drunk too much to go home the night before, volunteers to rouse Luke so they can work out a solution, but even the Gina isn't prepared for what she stumbles into.

Pat relates a story from childhood, and tells Sam that she killed everyone Simon got involved with. Meanwhile, Luke chases a mugger on his way to the church, making him late, and as Kerry's car circles the church one more time, he arrives with a police siren blaring and a black eye. Best man Nick hasn't appeared, and as Kerry tries to enlist Gilmore for the job, Gina steps in and appoints Tony. At the reception in the station's canteen, Duncan, on his way back to talk to Kitson's neighbours, tries to convince June his feelings for Sam are purely platonic. While quizzing Kitson's neighbour Margaret, Duncan hears noises upstairs, and Margaret tells him that Kitson sometimes stores things in her attic. He bursts in just as Pat is about to strangle Sam. But Sam isn't happy to be rescued, she thought she was making headway.
