The Bill: DS Claire Stanton is desperate to be discharged from the Don Beech case, but her CIB boss assures her she is doing well. DS John Boulton accepts a free night at a plush Docklands hotel, and invites Stanton to join him. Sure enough, as the pair settle down for their evening of luxury, an assault and robbery at the hotel sees Sun Hill officers arrive to investigate, and their night is ruined. The next day, CID investigates the theft of a laptop computer, and DS Beech is intrigued by reports of a "mystery blonde" sighted fleeing from the hotel. Horrified that Beech could discover their affair, Boulton and Stanton send Beech to the other side of London while they solve the case themselves - the laptop's owner was seduced by an employee of a rival computer company. Unfortunately, since her target Beech has discovered their affair, Stanton ends her and Boulton's relationship.
