Former EastEnders actress Kara Tointon guest stars as Ami, the victim of a break-in and DC Jo Masters’ investigation puts her on dangerous ground… Ami dials 999. They find her boyfriend Josh (former Hollyoaks star Barry Sloane) has Jeremy (former Torchwood star Gareth David-Lloyd) pinned to the floor. Ami’s story is that Jeremy broke in while she was sleeping and Josh caught him when he got home. Jeremy claims he was drunk and wanted to sleep it off in what he thought was an empty flat. At Sun Hill, DCs Jo and Grace Dasari make a chilling discovery: Jeremy works in Ami’s building and his fingerprints are on Ami’s kitchen knives – and above her bed. With no definite reason to hold him, though, Jeremy is released. But Jo is soon questioning him again after Ami finds a present from him in her office drawer. Jeremy says they’re having a secret affair. Ami insists she doesn’t know him but he knows her... He’s been using office security cameras to spy on her. Jo has to get Jeremy to realise he's living in a fantasy world but she pushes him too far and finds herself in real trouble. It’s nothing she can’t get out of, though, and an impressed Supt Jack Meadows tells Jo he wants to promote her to Sergeant, working alongside the maverick Sgt Callum Stone…
