Maggie and PJ are caught in the crossfire of a jealous husband spying on his wife and her lover at Govet's Leap. Determined to expose the philandering louse, the husband takes a video tape of them before settling the score with his fists. PJ springs to the defence—but who's going to defend him, when the tape submitted for evidence exposes Maggie and PJ canoodling? The Boss won't have a bar of this. Their jobs and their relationship are on the line. Dash is having her own clandestine affair on the Internet with a knight called Lancelot whose romantic handle masks a more deviant agenda. Jack reckons she should get a life. Romance on the Internet seems safe, until it seeps into the real world and Dash's virtual buddy becomes a living nightmare. When a young girl with a reputation as the town bikey is found drugged and raped after an evening at the nightclub, Dash has a hard time finding sympathy. Letting her personal opinion of a victim get in the way of her job is unprofessional, but this time it's also dangerous: the rapist meets his victims on the Net. Troubled by his own marriage break-up, Ben's personal problems seep into his police work. He finds sympathy for the angry cuckold who keeps getting hauled in for bashing his wife's lover. Ben just doesn't want to see another man ruin his marriage because he isn't thinking straight. When another rape is called in, Dash gets a lead that's right up her alley. The rapist bores his victims with computer chat before assaulting them. Could it be a computer geek whose net fantasies get out of control in the real world? Dash dives into the virtual world to draw him out. She finds him alright, but he's flesh and bone and she's the next victim Add a recap »
