EPISODE OVERVIEW

0 Reviews 0 Votes

Dash's career prospects look bright when Inspector Monica Draper arrives for the monthly inspection and recommends she undertake the CIB training program. A McKinley as a detective? Tom has his doubts, and PJ takes Dash on board with reluctant good grace. Dash's first case presses her to overlook good character when $10,000 goes missing from the local Catholic school's safe. The only suspects are the school's new principal, Deborah Williams, and Father Brian. As Dash and PJ investigate, it becomes clear that both principal and priest have opportunity, means and motive to steal the money. Dash's faith in authority figures waivers as she pressures suspects with unshakeable profiles within the Mt. Thomas community. The scales tip in Father Brian's favour when the Heelers learn that the financially strapped Deborah is also being blackmailed—ten grand or her career is over. How would St. Brigid's Catholic School like to know it has a lesbian as its principal? Trapped and looking guilty, Deborah has one big card to play: Inspector Draper is her best friend. PJ will not be cowed by the chilly Inspector and warns her against interfering in his investigation. A little more nervous is Dash, who jumps to conclusions. She suspects the Inspector is the secret lover mentioned in the principal's ransom note. Once again, her faith in an authority figure is put to the test. The Inspector seems determined to avoid any declaration of her sexual preference. Dash begins to wonder uneasily whether the Inspector's interest in her advancement is carnal rather than career-oriented. She is about to find out. Add a recap »
