The episode opens in a bar where we see transsexual Vera Reynolds in cabaret. Jane is now working for the Vice Squad. A rent boy is found dead in a burnt out flat. The body is discovered to be that of a Colin Jenkins, also known as Connie. Jane's prime suspect is Jimmy Jackson who grooms under age rent boys.
