The Friday Street team have been up all night searching for the latest missing girl, Teresa, knowing they only have limited time to save her. Her secret diary, written in a code, may contain a key to the killer, and the cops enlist the help of best friend Olivia to de-code it.

When a man walks in front of a car in a deliberate act of suicide Jonah and Taz must break the sad news to the suicide victim's mother - where they discover the man's wife lying dead in her bed upstairs. Upon Miller's inspection it's clear she's recently undergone an operation and hadn't received proper aftercare, dying from the infected wound. This doesn't look like an official operation at all...
