The Bill: When the victim in yesterday's domestic disturbance turns up badly beaten and left for dead, her husband is adamant he had nothing to do with it. Mandy tells Sgt Cryer that the woman who was bashed, Cath Evans, was working as a prostitute, and that the councillor's husband Justin was one of her clients. But Justin in turn, having admitted his deeds to his wife, says that he was seeing Mandy as well, and that on the night of the fire, she turned up late and had blood on her clothes. Meanwhile, PC Smith arrives at SO19 to find his new friend Julie also made the grade, but on their training course, treats her as the token female. When she beats him on the rifle range it causes friction, and their boss cautions that they have to learn to work as a team. Under pressure, Mandy finally admits to Cryer that Justin Harris is a client, and that he was paying her extra to keep it quiet. But that meant her paying off Cath and Sally, so when Cath threatened to tell Fleet, she bashed her up. Although happy with the result, but with the 'zone of Tolerance' idea scrapped, Chandler tells Cryer and PC Klein that they might adopt another of Klein's plans to fix the problem, hinting that he knew all along it was Klein's idea. Disappointed that his trust in Mandy was misplaced, Cryer remarks that maybe he is too old for the job after all. [Source: www.abc.net.au]
