Tess and Jack's romance is in full throttle. Jo teases him about his nightly sojourns, but Jack revels in his secret alliance with the Sergeant. Then they are called out to attend an attack on a convicted drug trafficker and everything begins to change. Five years ago, Brad Eckhardt killed a local high school student with a bad batch of ecstacy. Having served his time, Brad is back in town to nurse his sick mother. With Brad's promise that he's changed his ways, the last thing mother or son want is the past coming back to haunt them.

Jo Parrish and PJ accidentally come across Archie when they notice a woman running through the grounds of the centre, fleeing from an imaginary demon. When detox patients claim they've a seen ghost rumours of a murder at Layton Hall in the 1800s just fuel the gossip. A determined Jo pushes PJ to continue investigating the mysterious happenings at the detox centre in order to get to the bottom of the ghost story.

Tension is rife in Mt. Thomas. Joss and Kelly interrupt a girl who goes crazy in a store, and later find out that bad speed is being sold in the town. PJ and Nick are on bad terms over what they think of Tom's intentions, and Amy is just trying to get someone to let her help.
