Another strong episode of the long-running police drama - in which things go seriously wrong for PC Sally Armstrong (Ali Bastian, pictured) - with a lighter subplot about a lost dog to offset the misery.

Sergeant Stone (Sam Callis) and PC Leon Taylor (Dominic Power) respond to a burglary and are bemused when they meet Bob (Gary Lilburn) and Janey Fields (Ann Penfold) who say that the only stolen item is their prize canine, Bo. Surrounded by pictures of their beloved pet, the officers are determined to bring Bo back to his owners, but discover that the thief is much closer to home then they thought.

Elsewhere, PCs Sally Armstrong and Ben Gayle (Micah Balfour) man a demonstration at a demolition site, where two tower blocks are due to be pulled down. Sian McGuire (Matti Houghton), a distressed young woman, claims that she has to get into one of the flats before it's torn down in order to retrieve a diary that holds details of when she was abused as a child by her uncle, Graham Boyce. Sally, desperate to help her, begs Inspector Gina Gold (Roberta Taylor) to give them more time, but the decision is out of her hands. As Sian makes a last-ditch attempt to run into the flat, Sally chases after her as the buildings come crumbling down.

Later, distraught that the only evidence she has against Graham has been destroyed, Sian drops the idea of making a case against him, but Sally encourages her to pursue it. As the investigation continues, Graham is brought in for questioning and his answers only serve to fuel Sally's anger and frustration. At the end of her shift, Sally decides to let off some steam by joining Ben in a club and after knocking back one too many drinks, she leans in and kisses a shocked Ben, who pushes her away.

Humiliated, Sally finds herself outside the club with another party goer, who she begins to kiss. However, when he becomes pushy, Sally's drunken paranoia sets in and she runs to her car. As she drives away, Sally's night takes a horrific turn when she smashes head-on into another car...

    My name is Dyar Bakir and I am 37 years old, I am from Kurdistan, Northern Iraq, I used to work with United Nations.

    I would like to be considered as extras for The Bill as I think I would be a good candidate.

    I would like to send my appreciation to all the actors in The Bill, it is the greatest drama I have seen it in my life, I really love it and I watch all of the episodes.

    I wish one day I can be a part of it, from very young age I have always wanted to be in a film/drama like The Bill. I can speak Arabic, Kurdish, Persian (Iranian) and English.

    I would also like to write similar story lines which happen in Spooks or The Bill. Many of these stories have happened to me in real live as I am from Northern Iraq Kurdistan, I was captured by Iraqi Inelegance for information, when I was released they still followed me around so I had to watch my back all the time
