Harrow and Dass independently research the serial number of the metal plaque Simon found in the water bones. After consulting Jack, Harrow finds the orthopaedic surgeon who implanted it and convinces his widow to let him steal the file just before Dass arrives. He later burns it. At the same time, Harrow and Dass are called to investigate the bones of a woman found in a tree. They discover she was a homeless woman looking for her missing baby boy, but the DNA test said the boy she kidnapped wasn't hers. She was still stalking the boy when she was killed, and Harrow realizes she was a chimera, and the boy really was her son. Though the woman who kidnapped her child is arrested, Harrow realizes it was the boy who stabbed her out of fear. Meanwhile, Harrow and Dass go on an accidental double date with Stephanie and her new boyfriend. After Callan is suspiciously ambushed after buying drugs for sale with their money, Fern negotiates with the dealer, who gives her new drugs to sell.

Fern is selling the drugs she obtained from Billy at a party where a girl jumps out the window. Meanwhile, another woman is killed in a park. The police discover that Harrow's car was leaving the scene, after Fern stole it. A guilty-feeling Fern gives Harrow a sample of the drugs to save another girl who's in ER. When the police closes on Fern, Harrow tries to help her and discovers both cases are connected: the woman was the drug cook and was killed by Billy under the influence of her own drugs. During the case, Harrow and Dass hook up in his sailboat. Afterwards, Fairley calls Dass, telling that his theory, unlike Harrow's, is that the bones had been in the water less than a year. The bones are shown to belong to Stephanie's missing second husband.

Dass and Harrow are called to the case of a Danish student whose body has been found chopped in the railways. But the investigation is hindered by politics, as it concerns a Chinese businessman the government is going to sign a very important mining contract with, up to the point that two thugs kidnap Harrow and threaten Stephanie. The businessman escapes prosecution but Dass finds Quinn's car in a lake. Meanwhile, Callan's stepmother agrees to give him the house of her deceased brother to live, but Fern doubts leaving.
