Episode Chronology:

You'll Be Back is the 124th episode of The Bill

P.C. Stamp is talking to a shopkeeper about graffiti when he notices a scuffle between a stallholder and some youths. The stallholder is a friend of Sgt. Cryer. Insp. Frazer overhears Cryer and D.C. Lines talking about the case. The youths talk about compensation. The charge is later dropped but Frazer is worried that Cryer put undue pressure on the youths. P.C. Ramsey and W.P.C. Brind investigate a shoplifting. The shoplifter slips her chequebook and credit cards out of her bag. She doesn't want to go to court because her husband is a solicitor. She slashes her wrists while in a cell. Ramsey doesn't take the case seriously and sides with the husband but Brind thinks that there is more to it.

In 2022, writer Shirley Cooklin shared her memories of this episode for a The Bill Podcast Video Commentary
