Cass is questioned by Colleen about the attack on Sonia, but she vehemently denies any involvement. Meg is appalled by Colleen's stalling over the report on Minnie.

Cass reacts badly when Rick is introduced to the women. Colleen moves Belinda in with Sonia. Joan tells Colleen she isn't going to the police on the grounds of promoting "officer solidarity".

Judy goes the Colleen to complain at the use of male officers after the recent events, but Colleen tries to convince her that Rick has been thoroughly vetted.
