Acting Sub Officer Pearce annoys the watch by ordering them to check and doublecheck all the stuff that is to be returned into the newly repaired pump. Bayleaf is still on light duties after the crash and George does the driving. A young Indian flags them down on the street and takes them to the burning flat of some Indian friends. Blue Watch can put the fire out, but the Indian girls who were inside are fried and the young man breaks down in tears. The F.I.U. with Hallam and Jonah appears as well. Hallam tries to squeeze out some info from a bickering old couple. He suspects arson, but Jonah tells him not to jump to early conclusions – the fire had been caused by a badly fixed fuse.

Sicknote and Jean are out shopping with Hallam and Sandra, when Sicknote spots Cynthia and fakes a bad back to hide behind some tins – much to Hallam’s confusions. At home, Jean furiously demands an explanation for Sicknote’s lunatic behavior, but guesses for herself that Cynthia is behind all this. George trains for a charity boxing match for the brigade. Kelly follows him into the shower after the training, but her seduction attempt is thwarted when Jaffa, Billy and Kevin burst in.

At the next shift, Billy stuns everyone when he turns up in a hearse – his passion wagon (yuk!). During lunch Blue Watch is called to free a little boy who is sleeping hand-cuffed to a bench at the rivershore. A policeman shows Nick a hand-written note from his mother who has apparently committed suicide and left him behind. George and Colin fish the woman’s body out of the Thames, while Recall talks to the little boy.

Bayleaf gets anonymous phone calls accusing him of reckless driving. Colin’s Mum barges in on Zoë at the kitchen where she works and starts a big row in which Zoë and her boss end up covered in chocolate. Half of Blue Watch goes to the dog races to see Kevin’s dog “Blue Watch” race – and win. Colin comes home to find Zoë throwing a vase at him. On a party at the restaurant, Nick’s cousin Ariadne introduces him to Diana, a friend of hers. Bayleaf has to go to the police and hears he is charged with reckless driving after the accident.
