Teenagers Heather and Danny, too young to get married and spurned by their parents when Heather becomes pregnant, flee to the city to get an abortion. They see a backyard abortionist, but things go wrong and they come to the attention of the Homicide squad, already investigating a series of dangerous hotel-room abortions which have maimed young girls. Sgt. White becomes deeply involved in the case because the girls who suffered are not much older than his own daughter. Notes: Don Barker nominated this episode as his favourite: "It's a sensitive study of abortion. For the first time, we get an insight into Harry's family and what motivates him."
