PART 1


Nick tells Geoff that the new Sub has arrived and he is asked to move all of his kit out of the dorm and back into the dorm with the others. Geoff then goes to get his things and knocks on the door and walks in on Carole Webb - the new Sub, getting changed.


Billy is still going on about wanting Recall to be the Union Rep as they all get ready for the shift in the dorm. Billy then jokingly tells Sicknote that he has put him on the list, so he goes to go and cross himself off. Jack asks if anyone has seen the new Sub and they haven't. Sicknote later arrives back, realising that it was a wind up! Geoff enters and he's asked about the new sub, but doesn't say anything. Nick then enters the dorm with Carole and introduces her to them all.


After role - call, where Carole has trouble saying 'Georgiadis', she has a go at Billy who makes a comment about her. Nick is later informed that he needs to go to HQ at Lewisham to see D.O. Chapman, leaving Carole in charge of the watch. The bells go down ans the watch are called to people who are trapped at a health club.


At Lewisham, Chapman first asks about Jack, then how Nick himself is coping. Nick moans about being called to HQ and leaving his new sub alone on her first morning. Chapman then brings up about Nick maybe tranfering to staff, so he can spend more time with his son, but Nick wants to stay operational.


The watch arrive on the scene of the shout to find four ladies trapped in a turkish bar. The owner doesn't want the door broken, so it is suggested that someone goes up the laundry chute, then helps open the door from the other side. Everyone looks at Billy.


PART 2.


Billy goes up the chute, after suggesting that the women might try to moleste him. As Billy gets to the top of the chute, all the women greet him and help him out. Billy then unscrews the top hinges of the door, while the watch members on the other side push it open. It falls on Billy, knocking him into a shower!


Recall finally decides to stand for Union Rep, saying he owe's it to Hallam. In the mess, a Rep Hearing is held, where shows of hands is decided to be used for voting. First of all, Pit Bull gets ten votes after scaring his fellow watch members into voting, Geoff gets 3 votes and Recalls gets 8. Geoff then drops out, so there's a re - vote. Again 10 people vote for Pit Bull and 10 for Recall, until it is realised that Geoff hasn't voted, so he votes for Recall, who is appointed the new Union Rep.


The watch all leave to go home when Martin - Carole's husband appears, he's arrived to take her home. He reveals to them all that he used to be in the Brigade himself and lies about getting injured at a shout.


Recall arrives home to tell Laura that he's the new Union Rep, which she doesn't like at all. She moans, saying that the Brigade always comes first to the Brigade. Laura then gives him an ultimatum, she tells him if he doesn't go to Scotland with her, then their marriage is over.


The MacBeth rehersals go on. Maggie and Derek are on stage and Derek's acting is awful and Sicknote stands on the sides cringing. He has to read a boy's lines, as he's still at school in detention. Jean later arrives to the rehersals, noticing Maggie looking upset, she explains that Derek won't take no for an answer on the proposal. Jean states that Maggie will be able to get the marriage anulled as Albie's been gone for nearly six years.


Cyril talks to George about being a part of a gym business with him. He talks about an old building being done up as a gym and he will run it and George will train. Kelly thinks that it is a great opportunity and tries to talk George into it, but he isn't too keen. Cyril thenbrings up the point of George being able to pay off Lil's loan on the morgage.


PART 3.


Geoff opens his front door and takes Bruno out, telling him to sit whilst he locks the door. Bruno notices the Afghan hound on the other side of the road and runs into the road, nearly getting hit by a car!


Geoff sits in Cling Film's camper van with Cling Film and Bruno. Geoff tells Cling Film about Bruno nearly getting run over and then Cling Film informs Geoff of a Sub Officers post that has come up in Hampshire and that he thinks Geoff should apply.


A load of cars and motorbikes zoom around. Gangs start to fight and a car in jumped on, then torched before the gang run off, then torch a building.


In the dorm, Geoff starts to moan about Carole, telling the watch what Martin had told him earlier - that she's nervous and used to be at Health and Safety before her posting to Blackwall. Geoff later reads through Brigade vacancies and ripes the Hampshire Sub vacancy out as the bells go down.


The watch arrive on the scene of the shout and the gangs are still there causing trouble. One man tells Nick that tramps live in the burning building, so Recall and Jack rig up and go in. Meanwhile, another car is torched and Nick orders Sicknote to call the police. Jack and Recall can't find anyone in the building, just as backup arrives on the scene. The roof collapses in on the building and Carole and Billy run to the entrance, to find the door has jammed and Recall and Jack are still inside. Carole tells Billy to turn off the hose to release the pressure. She then puts the hose of the crack of the door, before calling to Billy to reconnect the hose to full pressure, which opens the door and Recall and Jack get out.
