Synopsis: In this episode of the New Zealand police drama, senior detective Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea), and subordinates Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and Daniel Chalmers (Jarod Rawiri) must determine who wanted a veterinary nurse dead, with the answer seemingly tied to simmering tensions between the twin sisters with whom the victim worked.

As the detectives arrive at the clinic to start questioning the staff, senior vet Craig Tilman (Will Wallace) is placing a cat carrier containing a fluffy longhair black and white cat on the counter as he instructs receptionist Brianna (Phoenix Connolly) to book a return appointment in a fortnight.
