While PC Page is assisting Ruth Watts in filing assault charges against her husband, Ken Watts, Luke Ashton is having romantic problems with the woman's daughter, 16 year-old Abby Watts. When she finally corners PC Ashton, she tells him that she's pregnant and that he's the father. Luke, unwilling to accept this claiming 'I used protection', wants nothing more to do with the girl, this causing her to make a complete mess of giving evidence in her mother's case against her stepfather. While the relief continue to take the mick from Luke regarding his impending 'fatherhood', Polly and Sgt. Cryer take opposing views regarding the course of action that should be taken. It is only after a failed suicide-attempt, that Polly manages to get the truth out of the young girl: She was raped by her stepfather, and since he didn't use protection, the baby is down to him. This leaves Polly at the hospital taking details, a furious Sgt. Cryer and a relieved, but still slightly concerned Luke Ashton. [
