Cloth is done. The brilliant but tortured detective has quit the force, never to return, completely out of the game. Well, until a bank robbery-gone-wrong brings him back into play.

Things at the station are a tad awkward, though, what with his on-off relationship with partner Oldman, not to mention ACC Tom Boss, the man who killed his wife, reinstated after a successful stint in rehab. In fairness, he hasn't slaughtered anyone in months.

More pressing matters are at hand, anyhow, when Cloth is tasked with going undercover to bring down Macratty - a very bad man - and find out what his next job is. Wannabe Mayor Hope Goodgirl is added to the mix as well, and she's taken a shine to Oldman.

Notes

This episode was dedicated to the memory of Tommy Vine, born in 1988, and Anna Wing, born in 1914.
