But that is not to say she has escaped entirely. Suffering from the kind of PTSD that must come as standard issue with one of the most stressful jobs in the world she also has grief and other personal problems to deal with and no real support away from the structure provided by her vocation.
This season will provide no relief. Working alongside the Police Counterterrorism Unit she is trying to stop a series of attacks from Steven Wyles (Jason Flemyng), a determined man following a very personal vendetta. Certain individuals are the targets and revenge the motivation but can Washington and team stop him?

'Trigger Point' season 3 — Episode guide
Season 03 Episode 01: Explosives Officer Lana Washinton (Vicky McClure) and her team are called to investigate a suspected bomb threat – an iconic, London Black cab that’s been abandoned in a wasteland. However, they soon realise they’re at the site of something far more sinister. Working alongside her colleagues in Counter Terrorism Command, the team race to find out what the person behind this unique bombing campaign wants, who they are, and who they might be targeting next.
S03 E02: With two incidents appearing to be connected, Counter Terrorism police work to establish a link between the two victims –a retiree and a university lecturer. As the investigation continues, the team grow suspicious that they aren’t being told the whole truth, and an intervention from DS Helen Morgan backfires, leaving the unit at a loss.
S03 E03: With the help of Lana, Counter Terrorism Command learn more about the recent murders. But their progress doesn’t go unnoticed by the bomber, whose campaign only intensifies, putting more people in grave danger.
S03 E04: All hope looks lost for the remaining missing person, until a new lead emerges. With Lana now known to the bomber, she has to work harder than ever to avoid falling into his traps, pushing her to breaking point.
S03 E05: The bomber’s next target is symbolic of their whole campaign, and Lana, rushing against the clock, must find the bomb amongst the pandemonium. Her search peels back the layers of the bomber’s secrecy, yet the two of them are thrown into new territory that neither is prepared for.
S03 E06: After the last attack, and with breakthrough evidence, Counter Terrorism police are close on the bomber’s heel. Lana faces a reckoning when she uncovers the truth behind the campaign, as the confession finally comes out.
'Trigger Point' season 3 - FAQ
What has Jed ("Line of Duty") Mercurio, said about the new season of "Trigger Point" he is Exec Producing?
How does it feel to be back for a third series?
It’s always a great feeling to be working on a show where the fans are watching it and they want more. There's a lot of choice for viewers, and we always appreciate it when people choose to watch Trigger Point. I've been making television for a long time, and I've made plenty of shows that hardly anyone watched, so I always feel very fortunate and privileged when we have a hit – it's just as much work to make a show that doesn’t connect with people and it's all down to the democracy of the audience. I’m really thrilled that so many people are watching Trigger Point but that doesn't mean that we take anything for granted–we have to offer them the best version of the show otherwise they’ll just watch something else.
How tricky is it to raise the stakes on a long-running show?
It's always a challenge, because there's a reason why an audience likes a show, and you have to give them things that fulfil expectations. But on the other hand, you can't just offer the same as you've always done, you have to break new ground. So it's always a balancing act, and the time we spend in preparation and script development is really exciting, as we’re considering what we're going to bring back from previous seasons, and what new elements we're offering the audience.
What were your priorities for series three?
The first priority is always characters, particularly Lana. We know she's been through a lot, and we wanted to put that on screen. It’s important that we show the toll that the job takes on expos – these are heroic characters literally putting themselves right next to an explosive device and dealing with the challenges of that. There are consequences and there’s loss, which all creates a really interesting psychological challenge for Lana. In Vicky [McClure]'s hands we know this is a story that will be delivered in a really moving way, and we want to pay tribute to the work the real explosives officers do, and their courage. Vicky really cares about the naturalism of her performance and representing people who do that job in real life. After the characters, the second thing we think about is the threat they're facing. We need to create an arc for the antagonist, and we need that character's agenda to be expressed in the type of bombing campaign that they carry out. We do spend a lot of time trying to identify what will define each season through that character.
Will there be a "Trigger Point" season 4?
Yep. Already commissioned so you can relax.
