Storylines[]
DC Barkley workes with DI Price to investigate Penny Branning for drug smuggling. Whilst alone in an interview room, Penny tips herself out of her wheelchair onto the floor; when DC Barkley enters the room, she cries out for him not to hit her again. She then claims that he hit her and demands that he is removed from her case. She threatens to press charges against him unless the charges against her and Lauren are dropped, but stops when DI Price reveals two hidden CCTV cameras caught her tipping herself of her wheelchair.
