A very unfocused episode that ventures in the seedy side of London.

Maggie Forbes and DS Fenton walk into a middle of an argument in a clip joint over a potentially dud cheque.

Later Fenton arrests Linda, an underage girl for soliciting. To Maggie this looks like a cry for help, especially after she meets the girl's domineering mother.

Maggie cannot help thinking that the girl knew Fenton was a copper.

There is trouble at home for Maggie. Her son Steve is caught shoplifting after being dared by his classmates. His behaviour also seems to be a cry for help.

It is only the third episode and it is basically doing domestics. You would think something that went out at 9.00pm on Friday evening would be more action packed. A criticism that could also had been applied to Juliet Bravo which tended to be shown earlier on a Saturday evening.
