A man gets chased into an Embassy, by people who get out of a car.

Coleman is in his office, he's on the phone to Steve Prentiss from Shadbrook, regarding their relief being late. Hyper knocks on the office door and enters.


George enters the locker area, he looks to see if anyone is around. When he notices the coast is clear, he goes up to Adam's locker and opens it. He has a good look in it, suspecting Adam was the person who nicked the brotch. George goes to close the locker and notices Adam behind him. They discuss the theft, pushing the blame onto each other and George brings up Adam's family's reputation, much to Adam's dislike.


There is yet another knock at Coleman's office door, Hyper goes to the door and opens it. It's Maggie. They all discuss Geoff and the mystery 'bug'. Coleman tells Maggie that he had no choice, but had to call in Environmental Health to check the kitchen.


Hi - Ho is reading about spontaneous human combustion in a newspaper, while standing in the mess. Adam and Recall take the mickey out of him, then Recall confronts Adam about the photo's. He tells him they're weren't picked for the column, but he'd be getting them soon.


George enters the mess and asks Recall if he can have a 'word'.

At Geoff and Fiona's house, they're standing talking in the kitchen. Eve then begins to cry and Fiona goes out to her.

At the station George confides in Recall, telling him about opening Adam's locker. Later on when they're all in the mess, Hi - Ho announces that the DreamCast has arrived.

At Geoff and Fiona's, Geoff is standing looking out of the window in the living room. Fiona senses that he is missing work, although he denies so. He later admits that he is worried if anything will happen in his absence. Fiona tells him not to worry as he will be back at work the next day.

At the Embassy... The people on the safe side of the door are desperately trying to break down the door. They finally manage to break the door down, as the man on the other side desperately screams for help.
