Senior registrar Kate Dickenson's (Ashley Jensen) promotion to superintendent is about to be announced and she knows that her colleague Judy (Rebecca Front), who was competing for her for the promotion, will not be happy with the news. Kate is enjoying a secret affair with her colleague Rick. No-one is prepared for her colleague James (Mark Stanley) arriving at her house, then telling her that he is transitioning into being a woman called Jamie and that he will from now on be wearing women's clothes. Kate is alarmed to discover her teenage daughter, Anna (Rochenda Sandall), is hiding suspicious messages on her mobile phone. The unexpected appearance of Kate's stepson puts her relationship with partner Rob Armstrong (Adrian Bower) under pressure. | ||||||

Kate is reeling from the discovery that Judy has incriminating footage of her and Rick (Kenny Doughty) having sex at work. After her spontaneous proposal to Rob, it is even more important that she keeps her affair secret. In an attempt to save her job and her relationship, she reluctantly steps down from her promotion. Kate's day goes from bad to worse when Rob turns up to tell her that their daughter did not go to school that morning - making her more suspicious about the messages on Lucy's (Lily Mae Pickering) mobile. | ||||||

Kate is horrified to discover that spiteful colleague Judy has sent Rob a flash drive containing the incriminating footage. Her only hope is to destroy the USB stick before stick before he sees it - but that proves easier said than done.

As if things could not get any worse, at work she is shocked to discover the real reason Amir and Ramin knew immigration were going to raid the wedding, although she is convinced she can use this information to help Rob get his man. | ||||||
