Seth Return

Intro As the episode begins, a familiar face—rookie Seth Ridley—returns to the station under a cloud of suspicion. His unceremonious entrance sparks tension: Nolan and Bradford exchange wary looks, while Miles stands rigid, hurt and angry at Seth’s past deceit. Meanwhile, Lucy is laser-focused, preparing for her upcoming sergeant’s exam, with Tim quietly offering support. Seth is assigned Nolan as his Training Officer, and a mixture of resentment and cautious hope ripples through the squad. Inside the briefing room, staff shuffle in silently, laying out case files and maps on the long table. Coffee pots hum. Every chair has a name—each seat emblematic of the complicated dynamics about to unfold. And that’s where we pause, just as all eyes turn toward the table, gear in place and the stakes unmistakably high.
