Summary Brian McGonigle is back with an unexpected return that's set to send shockwaves throughout the whole of Red Rock. Last we saw of the fallen cop he was being carted out of the station after a well-deserved punch from Superintendent McKay. Following months of bullying Sharon and his illicit and manipulative relationship with Rachel Reid, does Brian have a death wish returning to town as Red Rock's most hated figure? Alone and upset Rachel has skipped school to drown her sorrows in a local park. Her and Conor are officially over, having come to the realisation that she'll always be second place to heroin in their relationship. Rachel's at her most vulnerable when a young lad who has also been drinking approaches her. He's harmless enough but soon his advances start going too far. He's stopped in his tracks by a booming male voice - Brian McGonigle. He's back and with his eyes firmly on Rachel only trouble can be ahead. Promotions are in with both Nikki and Angela over the moon having made the inspectors list. However, the station's been without a superintendent for weeks, with no sign of McKay being replaced anytime soon. The station needs a leader and both women are perfect candidates - Nikki or Angela will have to take charge. Nikki jumps at the opportunity to prove her worth but it's a tough decision for Angela. A promotion would mean more time at work, away from recovering Conor now when he needs her most. This is the opportunity of a lifetime, will Angela sacrifice her career or her family?
