A vision of Justin gives her the determination to keep going, but can she find help before it’s too late?

Having been forced to sleep the night at the cop shop, Irene catches up with Cash.
Sadly he’s unable to help due to his suspension, and the injustice of Irene’s situation makes him question whether he wants to be a police officer anymore.
