Taff practically suspends 'troublemaker' Stan by forcing him to take his outstanding vacation, but he and Mick find evidence that the suicide is as good as impossible, hence a murder case is to be declared. However they get scolded by ingrate Ann as it's already too late, having missed the inquest by minutes, to prevent the bodies being released and the case formally ruled without surviving suspect. To Taff's relief, his gold buddy Chief Superintendent George Harris has already cleared him by internal investigation before Stan can approach him and be implicitly scolded an incompetent rebel. Best friends Jeremy and Brett act ever more like a platonic gay couple, turning the wake into a whiskey party, which estranges jealous Julie enough to promise the police 'the truth' after the media-attended funeral.
