They discuss their top suspects: Ian Winterman, Jim Atwood, Lucas Clive and Leo Humphries. They then receive a text from Bob saying that Jim Atwood has been beaten up. They go to pay Jim a visit and question him about the assault. He states that Ed Burnett beat him up and claims to have no idea what it is about.They go to Ed Burnett and arrest him for assault. He is then questioned by Hardy and Miller. This happens after Miller finds incriminating evidence that could potentially link him to the attack on Trish Winterman.
