After stealing a mistreated dog from its abusive owner Terry, Evelyn and Cassie learned the man was also operating a puppy farm. The pair told Roy Cropper (David Neilson) what they had found out, and planned to get proof so they could bring Terry to justice.

It transpired that Terry was using a woman's flat as a cover, and Roy reluctantly agreed to call her and enquire about buying a puppy. Cassie posed as a delivery driver and located Terry's base, and found several puppies trapped in a cage in a darkened room.

Cassie hid as Terry cruelly shouted at the squealing pups to shut up, while Evelyn kept watch with a camcorder outside and ended up in an altercation, witnessed by one of Evelyn's customers.

Terry convinced the other man that Evelyn was his ailing mother, before damaging the camera and threatening her grandson Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) if she didn't leave him alone.

Inside, Cassie was caught trying to rescue the puppies by Terry, and she knocked him out, promising the creatures that they would soon be safe.

Unfortunately, with Terry found unresponsive, the police were directed to Evelyn by the customer who had seen them together; and she was taken in for questioning and later arrested for assault by Craig Tinker (Colson Smith).

Evelyn was released only on conditional bail, as Terry had regained consciousness but didn't know who had attacked him. But as Tyrone wondered who the real culprit was, Cassie kept quiet. Will she come clean, or let her mum take the fall?
