Tom's step-son Daniel is in real trouble as the key suspect in a rape case, with his only unlikely ally being Inspector Monica Draper. She is concerned that Tom is running amok and tries to pump Sgt Jacobs for evidence. When Daniel finally agrees to a DNA test, Amy returns to suspecting the charming footy captain who has been billeted at the rectory with Daniel. But finding proof is another matter, especially as the girl refuses to believe he was involved. It is only when the girl receives an SMS apology that the truth starts to come out. Joss takes delivery of a snake, handed into the station in the mistaken belief that the Exotic Reptiles Amnesty is still in force. To keep it docile, Joss puts it in the fridge, where it is eventually found by Jonesy. Tom soon identifies it as a harmless carpet snake, and orders Joss and Kelly to return it to its owner, where they find a little more than they bargained for. Tom returns home to find his step-sons moving out. Disappointed and angry at his lack of trust, they have decided to go and live with their grandparents.
