The episode focused on how things can go wrong when people take the law into their own hands and try to get revenge when they feel they have been wronged.
Police were called out by a man called Wes, who called 999 saying: “I’ve got somebody in my property and they won’t leave and it’s getting violent and I just want them to leave.

A number of police officers were dispatched to the Sheffield address, and on the way were told by Wes over the phone: “She’s threatening people as well love and I want her out. She’s got a knife in her hand now, please hurry up.”
Upon arrival officers found Wes in downstairs in the house, and were told the woman who was attacking him was upstairs.
In the bedroom they found Wes’ partner Carmen, who said she had lost her temper with Wes when she got home to her house and found one sex worker in her bed and another with Wes.

It transpired that Carmen had most likely been holding scissors when threatening Wes, rather than a knife.
Wes said: “When Carmen came back I can obviously see why she was upset. Obviously I had working girls in the house with me.
"But there was another guy there as well and it was him that wanted business and him that was paying money. I did nowt wrong.”

She said: “I know him. I’m not daft. I’ll wear his b******s for earrings.”
PC Laura Ledger, who attended the incident, said: “I have got sympathy for Carmen. People get hurt and people mess with people’s feelings and react in different ways.
"She’s had the red mist and reacted to something hurtful, but she’s got to control that.”
