De Pauli is approached by Ian, who is concerned about the welfare of one of his parishioners, John Kelly (Conor McIntyre), whose daughter, Simone, has got into a shoplifting ring. He asks De Pauli to have a quiet word, but when she interviews the girl, she discovers she was bought the trainers by her music teacher, Peter Kitchen (Adrian Rawlins), who she claims has been sexually abusing her. Kitchen denies all knowledge of the abuse, and when Kelly persuades his daughter to retract her statement, Jo is suspicious that he might be the abuser. Meanwhile, it's Patrick's birthday, and Julie organises him a surprise party. Patrick, however, refuses to play ball and ends up going to the pub and getting hammered. Cally decides to check up on Carmen to find out how her stint in rehab is progressing, but ends up getting stick from both De Pauli and Frank. As the investigation into Kitchen concludes, Frank discovers a disturbing piece of information which suggests that Kitchen is assuming a fake identity - and is in fact a paedophile.
