Jonesy and Susie head to the site of an ecstasy overdose only to discover Jonesy's young brother Dylan, with the Drug Squad, got there first. Dylan loves to snub his brother because of their positions and soon leads an investigation into drugs in Mt. Thomas without listening to Jonesy's evidence. Jones goes after a brother and sister pair who he suspects, even though they are Dylan's friends, and his vigilance has even Susie convinced that he is just doing it to beat his brother. Meanwhile, a surprise 30th birthday party for Jonesy comes to a head when he fights with his brother, and they are seen fighting by Tom and Commander Jones - the boys' father.

    There's bad ecstacy floating about Mt. Thomas, and the Heelers are trying to work out who's responsible. Initial evidence points to a local farmer and his daughter, then shifts to the local scented oil manufacturers. After they run into dead end after dead end, Joney's drug squad brother Dylan and his partner arrive to take control of things. It's obvious from the get-go there's a lot of bad blood between them - mostly on Dylan's side - and that Dylan was their father's favorite.

    Dylan has chronic tunnel-vision when it comes to nailing a suspect, insistant that the farmer and his daughter did it when Jonsey's gut instinct says the oil manufacturers did it. The bad blood between the brothers comes to a head at Jonsey's 30th birthday party, with tragic results.

    A very good episode with typical high standards of writing, acting and characterisation. One thing that bugged me - Dylan was supposed to be the younger brother, although he looked a fair bit older to me. And Jonsey doesn't look 30. And am I the only person who wishes Jonsey and Susie would just get together?
