Trigger Point season 2 threw Lana Washington into some extraordinarily tough situations, but the explosives officer lives to fight another day.
The latest instalment saw her go up against an anarchist group known as 'The Wave', who sought to bring down the current power structures in our society with their campaign of terror.
Washington was personally targeted by the group, who rigged her parents' home in an attempt to coerce her into doing their bidding – but she was able to outsmart them with her technical expertise.
The story ended on a positive note, with Lana, Sonya and Hass enjoying a dance at Danny's wedding, but will the team be back together to face more threats in a third outing?
