The Bill: DC Ken Drummond's attempts to gain the confidence of Sid Wright are getting nowhere, but Drummond literally plays his last hand when he follows Wright and gatecrashes a private poker game between Wright and the Fosters. A drunken brawl outside a pub turns nasty when Sgt Sheelagh Murphy finds a boy beaten badly on the street. Feeling guilty at having let the suspects off with a warning earlier, Murphy tackles the case on her own rather than handing it over to CID. After their night of passion, a smitten PC Des Taviner will do anything for her - but Murphy's doubts and guilt over their affair could put a crimp in Taviner's ardour. Acting DI Samantha Nixon reluctantly organises a meeting between her daughter Abigail and Abi's father, Glenn Weston, but it all goes horribly wrong when the father of the child Weston murdered arrives and attacks him in front of waiting press cameras. Supt Adam Okaro and DCI Jack Meadows are furious when the story hits the papers. DC Ken Drummond is abducted by the Foster family on his way home, where they reveal that they know about Ken's polygamy - and the fact that he's a cop.
