The Bill: Newly-promoted DI Nixon takes on the outstanding missing-person files, and proposes a press event to stimulate new responses in the Tennant case. The relief is policing the Aldbourne Estate, which is to be redeveloped despite the objections of some residents. PCs Stamp and Hollis catch a youth who has been stealing piping from one of the properties, but the developer refuses to press charges. Sgt Ackland challenges him over the use of a derelict property as a drugs den. Sgt Smith and PC Valentine arrest a man for reckless driving, but he gives a false identity and is bailed. Nixon and DS Turner arrange a sting operation to trap him. Sgt Smith is unimpressed when TDC Walker decides to spring a surprise for his birthday, and decides to end their relationship. Ackland tells Stamp and Hollis that she has decided to retire.
