Thatcher and Kane conduct a raid on drug dealer Mark "Chopsy" Doyle, with Meadows hoping they can get Chopsy to give up his supplier. While he is initially reluctant, he agrees to turn informant when his daughter's mother dies after overdosing on his drugs. The info leads them to arrest Best's father, Alan; however, Gold demands his release, with Meadows told he's an informant and unknowing courier of the drugs. Best is furious that he has been cleared once more, so he sets about inflicting his own punishment. Taviner and Hollis investigate the robbery of an elderly lady's pension outside the post office, but Taviner's mind is off the job after discovering Sally Johnson has taken Simpson's allegations about the firebombing to the DPS, so he goes to confront the ex copper and threatens her. As Taviner prepares to talk at the unveiling of the memorial plaque for the officers killed in the station fire, his guilt gets the better of him, so Murphy tries to get him to open up.
