Station Officer Mick Callaghan's life is about to explode around him as the inquiry into Recall's death coincides with the stark realisation that his marriage is on the rocks. Mick (Anthony Green) has been wrestling with his conscience over Recall's death. He knew Recall was having health problems, but still let him go into a blazing building.
Mick's work situation and the brewing chemistry with colleague Sally (Heather Peace) has blinded him to the needs of his wife Shauna (Liza Walker), who has turned to Frank Mooney (Tristan Gemmill) for comfort.
But when the Watch is called to a fire at Mick's home, the truth emerges that Shauna is suffering from manic depression.
Sally changes her statement to the inquiry telling what she knew about Recall's health. Mick admits his guilt, but is acquitted nonetheless. Later Mick announces that in future his family comes first - leaving Sally crestfallen.
