Summary

#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#

PART 1


Evgenia falls and hurts her ankle. The mess phone rings and Sicknote answers, it's Nick and he explains to Sicknote that Evgenia fell and that they're waiting for a doctor. He also needs someone to look after Costas so that he can go to work. Sicknote suggests Jean. He then rings Jean to tell her that he's volunteered her to look after Costas for the day.


The Watch clean the appliances in the yard as Geoff is making the most of being in charge, until Nick arrives and Pit Bull is having fun of taking the mick out of Geoff and Jack. He calls Jack a Jonah, which he lives to regret later.


Geoff later is in his office, filing all of the paperwork as Nick enters the Sub's office. He informs Geoff that a new Sub has been appointed but he has no details on who it is as of yet.


Pit Bull goes to leave the station, but Jack stops him, asking for a word. They go over to a room outside, as Nick watches out of his window. Pit Bull leaves the room, holding his face and Jack leaves a while after, shaking his hand. He had punched Pit Bull!


The bells go down and it's another call to... St. Hughs. Yet again there is no sign of a fire and this time Nick is taken to the phone. Recall then notices a security camera on the wall, which hadn't been spotted before. Some of the Watch members go to the security office and watch through the tapes. Recall wonders what Geoff and Cling Film are talking about as they watch them on a screen, then does a brilliant impressing of Cling Film. The man who was doing the 999 hoaxes is spotted and the security guard recognises him from Maintenance, but doesn't know his name. The man is then spotted at the front entrance and Nick radios Sicknote, telling him to not let the man get away. The Watch catch up with the man, who is then taken to an office.


PART 2.


At the end of the shift, Nick approaches Jack about what happened with Pit Bull but doesn't ask him directly. George and Kelly discuss Cyril and Beattie meeting up at theirs, although George isn't too keen.


Geoff goes to his solicitor after he received a letter from Patti's as she is demanding that he sells the house so she gets half of the value.


Jenny arrives at Sandra's, where she blames the affair on herself. She explains to Sandra that she persued him and that things were over between the two of them. Sandra hates herself because she doesn't know how John felt about her when he died.


Billy and Steph talk in bed and Billy talks about imagining that Hallam is still alive and that he would appear and shout at him for not doing something right. Steph then tells him that she understands and that she still thinks that her dead dog is alive. Billy moans that it isn't the same and that she doesn't have a clue, before leaving.


Jack meets Stephen outside his school. Jack asks Stephen whether the school are ok with him going out for the day. They talk about his friends and their parent's boring jobs and Stephen reveals that most of them think that Ian is his dad. They later go to McDonalds, where Stephen asks about Hallam being killed, then reveals to Jack that he doesn't like it at the school, but hasn't told his mum because he doesn't want to seem ungrateful.


Beattie, Cyril, Kelly and George sit around and have dinner. Cyril explains that he used to owe people money and he always thought about going back to Beattie and that now, he wants them to start over again. Beattie agrees, giving him a trial.


PART 3.


A woman waters her plants and waters one above her TV, which is left on standby. Water then drips into the TV and it explodes. The woman's disabled husband is upstairs painting and smoke begins to come up through the wooden floorboards. He then calls 999 and talks to a woman on control.


The Union Rep elections is discussed in the mess. Pit Bull is currently the only one standing and no - one wants to see him as the Union Rep. Geoff decides that he will stand. Billy suggests that Recall should stand. The bells then go down...


The man explains to the woman on control that he is disabled and that a lot of smoke is beginning to seep through under the door. She tells him to place something in it's way. Nick is then notified that the person who is in the fire is disabled. The woman then goes back to the disabled man, who is finding it even harder to breathe as the smoke is still pouring through. She asks him if he can open a window. He can't reach, he then tries to open it with something, but falls out of his chair to the ground.


A BA crew rigs up and goes in and goes straight up to the room. Thw wife arrives home and is frantically worried about her husband. The BA crew find the man on the floor and carry him to the door, just as the floor in the room collapses in. The man is taken outside and Nick enters, where the woman on control is trying to get hold of the disabled man. Nick explains to her that they've found him.
