Blaketon fears an ex-convict has returned to Aidensfield to seek revenge as the former sergeant had promised he would secure him a shorter prison sentence in return for crucial information. However, it's Blaketon who ends up in trouble with the police. Meanwhile, Greengrass offers his services as a pawnbroker to a cash-strapped spoilt youngster, only to land himself in trouble with two overbearing women. Elsewhere, Sgt Jennifer Nokes takes charge at Ashfordly Station whilst Craddock is on leave and takes a shine to Bellamy, much to Ventress' amusement.
