and credits
*************************************************************
The Blue Watch are still on the shout at the block of flats from
the previous episode. The building blows again.
Sally tries to contact Geoff over the radio but he isn't
responding.
*************************************************************
We view the inside of the building. A huge hole has gone through
the middle of the building. The only floor left is that of the
sides of the building. We see everyone inside, lying still and
hear Sally radioing Geoff, she keeps trying and trying but she
has no response.
*************************************************************
We then see the outside, Terry is holding his baby asking for
information on his wife Lynne. He is comforted, but not given a
definate answer because they don't know where she is and what
state she's in.
************************************************************
Inside the building again...
Geoff awakens with Mr. Schuster at his side. He trys to contact
Sally at BA control, but he's unable to get through.
***********************************************************
Recall awakens and sits up slightly. His hat drops off the edge
and down through the large hole. He looks for Mrs. Schuster, who
he was accompanying, but he cannot see her. He spots Lynne
nearby.
************************************************************
Outside the building...
Grigg's arrives and talks to Coleman. Coleman wants to send a
back - up crew inside to look for the others but Grigg's won't
agree. He's now being careful after what happened at the Chinese
Warehouse fire at the end of series 12, where Joe and Sicknote
lost their lives.
*************************************************************
We see the inside of the building again, Geoff is still trying to
contact Sally with no such luck. We keep seeing Sally then Geoff,
each trying to contact each other. Geoff finally notices that a
wire has came loose in his set and connects it again and can hear
Sally. He contacts her and Sally puts Coleman on the line. Geoff
speaks to Coleman wo asks if Recall is with them, Geoff answers
no.
**************************************************************
Recall slowly walks around the edge of the building.
Geoff shouts out to him. Recall replies.
Geoff goes on the radio to Sally, telling her that Recall is ok.
Recall carries on walking around the edge of the building towards
Lynne.
**************************************************************
The gas mains become alight in the building.
**************************************************************
Commercial Break...
**************************************************************
DO Griggs finally lets people go inside the building.
**************************************************************
Mr. Schuster finally wakes up and Geoff explains to him what has
happened. Mr. Schuster asks where Judith (his wife - Mrs.
Schuster) is.
***************************************************************
The Blue Watch all enter the building...
Sally finds Mrs. Schuster, she's not in a very good way. The
paramedics are sent in and she's brought out on a stretcher.
***************************************************************
The Blue Watch begin clearing up the inside, so that they can try
to free Geoff and Mr. Schuster.
****************************************************************
Lynne confides in Recall. Telling him that Terry was the person
who started the fire.
****************************************************************
Mr. Schuster talks to Geoff. Telling him that he's so much as
killed his wife. Geoff doesn't follow, then Mr. Schuster tells
Geoff that he was the person who started the fire with a smoke
flare. He didn't mean no harm, he only meant to scare the youths,
but it went a bit too far.
*****************************************************************
The Arial Ladder Platform cage goes up then is lowered into the
building through the hole in the roof. A Belt connected to a rope
is thrown down to Recall and Lynne. Lynne doesn't want to go up
at first because she's scared of heights. But Recall talks her
into it a and they both connect themselves to the belt and rope
and get hoisted up.
****************************************************************
Mrs. Schuster moves slightly in the ambulance.
****************************************************************
The Blue Watch finally free Geoff and Mr. Schuster from the
debris that was blocking their way out.
****************************************************************
After everyone is out of the building, Geoff tells everyone that
Mr. Schuster confessed to him that he started to fire.
Recall goes over to Lynne and her baby, near the ambulance and
tells her that Terry didn't start the fire. Terry thanks Recall
for telling her and Lynne and Terry make up.
***************************************************************
Geoff gets another message through on his pager. He moans about
it and demands to know who has been sending him messages. Hyper
says that he send two, then Geoff reads the message he received.
Hyper tells him he didn't send that message. Geoff realises that
this message wasn't a prank. Coleman told him to go and that
they'd get everything cleared up and Geoff quickly ran to the
hospital.
***************************************************************
Commercial break...
***************************************************************
Geoff is still running to the hospital...
He finally arrives at the hospital and runs up to the reception
desk and asks about his wife. The receptionist says she'll be on
Redbridge Ward.
Geoff finally finds the ward and finds Fiona sitting on a bed,
she has had the baby. Maggie is sitting in a chair beside the
bed. A nurse then appears with Zoe and congratulates Gepff,
saying he has a beautiful baby girl.
**************************************************************

Coleman talks to Councillor Hemmings. She tells him that her
first name isn't Councillor and that he can call her Alison and

attempted jewellery theft that George supposedly did.
***************************************************************
At the hospital...

then she awakens again. Geoff says that she should go home and
that he'll call her a taxi. Maggie declines, saying she'll get
the bus but Geoff insists and goes off to order her a taxi.

see the baby. He has no luck so they try to get Hi - Ho to work
on her. Hi - Ho is wearing the after shave that is supposed to be
irrisistible to women. The receptionist starts discussing the
fire brigade any Hi - Ho is very shy. In the end Hi - Ho turns
round and that lads are gone. He quickly follows them.

Review
I thought
this episode was a good one. We had the shout from the episode
before following through, so we knew the outcome.
We had some good gags. Baby Eve is so sweet :-)
I feel sorry for George, being blamed for something he clearly
didn't do and getting stick and constant questions about it.
