Episode Chronology:
Valentine and DeCosta investigate when a shop owner is attacked, but discover that the attacker may be their most unexpected suspect. Meanwhile, Best and Nixon investigate the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl, and discover that she lied about her age. The girl finally admits that she wasn't raped, and Best advises the accused to confess to sex with a minor. However, his actions have an entirely unexpected outcome when it discovers that due to the fact the girl was only 12 when they first had sex, the accused will be charged with statutory rape and faces a life sentence. Meanwhile, station cleaner Barnes continues to play mind games with Ramani following the events of her hospitalisation.
