PART 1
A Commander talks to the press outside the from of the station as
the Watch sit in the mess. Geoff is in Nick's office, talking to
the councillor as Nick stands in the corner of the room. Geoff
explains what happened in the shout and has visions of what
happened. He breaks down.
The next day, Pit Bull arrives to work to find a load of saddened
faces and no - one will talk to him and explain what happened,
they just pass him and go home.
Laura walks up to Recall's hospital bed and explains that his cab
has arrived, but all he can think about is that John is somewhere
in the hospital.
Sicknote has decided that he should ring Bayleaf and tell him
what happened, although he keeps putting the phone down before
dialling. Jean offers to ring Bayleaf, but Sicknote wants to. As
he does and as Bayleaf answers, Sicknote can't explain what
happened and breaks down. Jean takes the phone from Sicknote and
explains to Bayleaf that John died.
Sandra is talked to by the councillor and Baxter. Sandra tells
him that she doesn't want a Brigade funeral, she had been to one
and she doesn't like the thought of all eyes being on her.
In the mess at the station, Maggie begins to cry and Billy
approaches her. Maggie explains that Derek has proposed, but she
can't marry him because she's still married to Albie. She then
begins to talk about what happened to Hallam and upsets herself
even more.
Geoff enters Nick's office after being called there. Nick
explains that Hallam's locker needs emptying and asks Geoff
whether he'd like to do it. He then asks Geoff if he wants to go
with him to Sandra's to give her Hallam's things, but Geoff feels
that he can't go.
In the mess, Billy comes to the conclusion that all bad things
happen when Geoff is around and that he's a jinx. Geoff then
enters and Billy goes quiet as Geoff asks Cling Film for a hand
with something. The bells then go down and the Watch have a call
to St. Hugh's hospital.
PART 2.
There is no sign of a fire at St. Hughs, so the Watch decide to
enter the hospital to check the pay phones. Billy finds the
number of the phone where the 999 calls were being made from,
they all then approach the reception, which is right next to the
phone and they ask a receptionist if she's seen anything. The
receptionist however is really unhelpful and doesn't help them
one bit.
Geoff walks his dog and passes Sandra's house and Nick notices
him walk by. Nick had given Sandra, John's things, which she
considers aren't much to show. Nick brings up the subject that
John didn't seem himself at the start of his last shift. They
later discuss the funeral, where Sandra reveals to Nick that she
doesn't like it that Hallam died with Geoff.
At dinner, Recall reveals to Laura that he's going back to work
that night, much to Laura's dislike.
Jack's doorbell rings and it's Linda. She asks if he's alright as
she's heard what happened. Linda pleads Jack to talk to him,
although he really doesn't want to and he thinks that he carries
bad luck around with him.
Bayleaf arrives at the funeral directors to meet the Watch.
They're all glad that he could make it and he's introduced to
Jack.
The councillor talks to Sandra and can sense that something is
wrong. Sandra is resenting that John spoke to the councillor
about his problems, but not to her. She then brings up the
subject of John's affair with Jenny.
PART 3.
Geoff enters Nick's office and informs him that he's going to try
for a Sub's post. Nick asks if Geoff wants to leave for all the
right reasons, he tells Geoff that he knows things haven't always
been easy for him, but he doesn't think he should leave,
especially when he'll be breaking the Watch up again. The bells
go down and the Watch get called to a flat fire...
At the funeral, Sandra sits in a car, which passes certain
stations where officers are standing outside as a mark of
respect. She then arrives at the funeral, where officers and
Watch members are there. The Watch, excluding Geoff and including
Bayleaf, carrying the coffin into the chapel. Nick talks about
