Tom assigns Roz to help out at the one-man Widgeree station where Senior Constable Alan McCubbin is running behind on his paperwork. Roz makes an excuse so as not to have to return after being subjected to Alan's inappropriate advances. Maggie encourages her to report the incident to Tom but it is only after learning of Alan's drinking on the job that Tom finally takes notice. Unfortunately it is too late to prevent Alan from blowing an undercover investigation into a wildlife-smuggling ring and shooting their suspect.
