Rock Bottom

Harker is offered the role of Youth Diversions Officer following the borough's appointment of an arrest referral worker, Dexter King, who is a reformed former drug user. Meanwhile, Daly has finally been given the green light by Meadows to set up an obbo on archrival Barry Lomas, who has escaped custody more times than Daly cares to remember. As Daly and Proctor tail Lomas, he leads them straight to Dexter King's flat, which they subsequently raid, only to find Harker inside. As they chase a potential runner from the scene, they find him in possession of drugs, and Lomas points the finger of blame straight in Dexter's direction. A raid on Dexter's workplace also uncovers a stash of drugs.
