Omney suspects that Clare is being held against her will at Meadowbank Clinic. Or has she finally left him, sick of his drunken and aggressive behavior?

For help, Omney turns to Annabelle Fraser, his old girlfriend. He is convinced that a conspiracy is afoot--and that Clare is sending him covert messages.

Omney attends the funeral of one of the clinic's former residents, suspecting his wife's body lies inside the coffin. Later that night, he and Annabelle return to find out for themselves.

The police catch Omney red-handed, and a deadly attack leaves him with only one way out.

Omney turns up the heat on Meadowbank, which is forced into the most desperate of measures.

Despite complying with the kidnapper's demands, Tina isn't safely returned to her owners as agreed. A smart young copper from the local force (who took the couple's problem seriously) decides to investigate - despite the indifference and cynicism of his police colleagues.

Thanks to Clarence's intervention, the dog kidnapper is apprehended and charged. But the CID officers' cynicism towards the case continues, leaving Clarence in a position of distrust, and the dog's owners vulnerable.

Clarence is suspended from the police after accepting an alleged bribe from the bailed Kowajinski, and his girlfriend is being targeted by him (and the police) now too. After spotting Kowajinski spying on her flat, Clarence has had enough, and follows him to finally confront him.

Clarence found Kowajinski and attacked him in a fit of rage - before he himself was attacked and hospitalised by a group of hooligans the same night. With Kowajinski now dead, and the bribery charges dropped, he is living with the Reynoldses after being dumped by Marion. But, as police investigation into Kowajinski's death increases, Clarence is left to his fate.

The police investigation into Kowajinski's death continues, with Clarence still their number one suspect. After a night of intense interrogation, they finally let him go - but is it really the end?

While Dave's girlfriend and his tutor desperately make inquiries to solve his disappearance, the political group who have brainwashed him send him out to do their dirty work - or is it just a dress rehearsal for what's really being planned?
