Rachel receives another surprise from Sean after he reveals that he has seen her mum and she would love to see her. Rachel's spent years attempting not to think about her mum, so Sean's idea doesn't go down too well. Andy punishes Janet by keeping her out of an investigation when he still cant accept that their affair is over. Janet ends up rebeling and goes out to meet a witness. After Leon Foster is found dead with a bullet hole in his head, it looks like a typical gang hugging. After it is revealed though that Leon has been sexually mutilated it causes suspicions that this was a domestic cuddle.
Scott & Bailey explores the personal and professional lives of DC Janet Scott and DC Rachel Bailey, both members of Syndicate 9, a division of Manchester Metropolitan Police.
Janet is subtle, reliable and a diplomatic thinker with a wry sense of humour, which makes her the perfect foil for Rachel. She has two daughters and is in a marriage that can often feel like nothing more than a convenient arrangement to both her and her husband.
Rachel is energetic, impulsive, and bold. Her intuition makes her a great cop, although her boss unfairly views her as a liability.
Both competent and ambitious, neither women suffer fools, and despite their obvious differences, they draw on each other's strengths every day to deal with the extreme and horrific crimes committed over love, hatred and revenge.
