As the vehicle turns into a cul-de-sac they hit the blues and twos but the driver has no plans to come quietly. Caught in a dead end, he rams the police car, sparking a high speed pursuit.

Later, Jan and Jamie are called to support their sergeant in solving a roadside mystery. A driver is on trade plates, claiming to be on a test drive.
