Episode Summary[]

Blue Watch are called out to a report of an overturned boat on a reservoir -- which turns out to be a model boat, belonging to the son of Steve Prentiss from Shadbrook. Although Pearce is unimpressed, Hyper and Adam use the ALP to retrieve the model boat, and Adam offers to repair it. Back at Blackwall Andie turns up with the news from the hospital, that George is expected to make a full recovery.

Hi Ho accidently causes Maggie to fall in the mess, bruising her ankle, so ADO Coleman takes her home. Bateman confronts Sally in the locker room, accusing her of ruining his career. Coleman and Pitbull overhear the argument and drag Sean away, Coleman telling Bateman his career in the Brigade is over. Later, Sean is arrested by the police.

The Watch attend the Quiz Night at the Oliver Twist, where Adam is the quizmaster. Coleman gives Hyper and Melissa the news about Sean. When Sally and Recall turn up, they find Ben working behind the bar with Elaine. Geoff gets home and Fiona discusses plans for Eve's christening.

Back at Blackwall Pitbull tells Sally he was wrong about Sean and apologises. Coleman informs Sally that Bateman will remain in custody before being put on trial. Maggie is back at the mess with bandages on her ankle, and Geoff asks her to do the food for the christening. John is suprised when Alison comes to see him.

Adam and Hi Ho are shopping with the ALP, when they discover that the traffic jam they're stuck in has been caused by an accident inside a tunnel, where an ambulance has overturned and vehicles are on fire. Two Paratroopers help out until reinforcements arrive. A man trapped in a van in the tunnel uses his mobile phone to call the Brigade. As Kate tries to reach the crews on the scene by radio, one of the cars in the tunnel explodes.
