This has always been one of my favourite episodes, and is another excellent entry in a very strong opening season.
The story concerns pretty journalist Sandy Williams (wonderfully played by the gorgeous Prunella Gee) who seems to somehow be involved in the proceeds of a blag that have gone missing. When an article of hers is published in a glossy mag concerning the aforesaid crime, she seems to know more than even the police - and gets a visit from The Sweeney.
Regan however falls for her charms very quickly, and is torn between his feelings for Sandy and his responsibility for locating the stolen loot. But just how involved is she?
The scenes involving Regan and Sandy are a joy to watch, and there's a real chemistry between them. She reels him in perfectly, and it seems he's very happy about it too - and wants to please her. The plot is intriguing as we want to think Sandy isn't involved - but all the evidence would seem to point otherwise.
Regan is desperate to clear her name - but can he put the love of a woman before his job as as a DI?
There's still room for fun as well with the flamenco dance in the restaurant - as well as a car chase towards the end involving the local fuzz, involving Regan with Carter in his own unmarked car.
This is an engaging and poignant episode that shows a new side to Regan & the show itself, and we get to really feel for him as a human being - with human frailties.
