In this episode, the team is tasked with investigating the case of an Iraqi woman who has suffered a brutal attack, leaving her in a coma. The woman, known as Sawsan, is an asylum seeker who claimed to have been raped by an English man before being attacked. The team works tirelessly to unravel the events leading up to the attack and identify the responsible party.

"The Fall Out (2)" is a gripping and emotional episode that will make viewers question the prejudices and biases that exist within society and the adversities of those seeking asylum and trying to fit in.
