Kate O'Flynn

A local beauty queen receives some disturbing threats.

Widowed Nicky Laker, a doctor at a research lab which uses animal testing, asks Peter to defend her daughter Donna, who has vandalized the unit to expose it and lose her mother her job. In fact Donna's motive is not out of principle but fear of being cut out of her workaholic mother's life, whilst Nicky's work obsession is to find a cure.

Local farmer Geraldine Merrick suspects vandalism when crop circles appear in her fields, but a UFO enthusiast, Terry, is convinced it is the work of aliens. Peter believes Terry's neglected son and friends know more than they're saying about the mysterious circles.

Grumpy, but promiscuous judge Jeremy Harding is sent compromising photographs of himself with a young woman and blames Beatrice. Harding asks Peter to find the blackmailer, who turns out to be very close to home. Stan Geddick and his druids claim the local golf club is on the site of an ancient place of worship, but Lyle saves the day by proving that they are, geographically, way off course.

Lyle goes home to Stockport with his mother to prevent the council from selling off local allotments for a golf course. Lyle's younger twin brothers do not help the situation with their 'guerilla gardening' tactics. Peter acts for Andrew Risden who is refused permission by the headmistress to video his child prodigy cellist daughter Abigail's recital, on the basis it may attract pedophiles.
