Sally gives him a massage as Frank walks in. Frank just gets started on the weights machine when George walks in and tells Mick Shauna is on the phone.  Mick goes to answer it but the pump gets called out.  They respond to a rubbish fire at a school, but by the time they arrive the school caretaker has already put it out, so the crew has to make sure its out.

 

Mick gets a call from Control telling him to phone home. He finds a payphone and calls her.  She tells him to come home as she is freezing. Whilst he is on the phone, nearby an old woman has her bag snatched. Frank chases down the mugger and takes the bag back to the woman, but another man wants it. Confused, the man explains that its full of stolen booze!  Back at Blackwall, its another shower scene as Pearce comes in to tell Mick the DO is there to see him.

The Watch congregate in the pub with Lisa. Charlie starts doing impressions of Craig and Ross but Lisa tells him to cut it out. Ross tells Mick that the inquiry is just red tape, but he hopes its fair.

 

George is still in the locker room when Pearce catches him as he hasn't put himself down to give blood.  George tries to worm his way out of it, but Pearce puts him down. Pearce asks him if he is going to the pub to show solidarity for Mick, Pearce thinking he could lose his job but George tells him not to be a prat.  Adam follows Frank into the Gents to talk about the arson attack (Ep.4) Mick walks in and asks Adam if he is ok. When Mick gets home, Shauna is in the bedroom brushing her hair.  He goes to get into bed and finds his picture in bed. Shauna explains she took it there when it was cold.  Shauna accuses Mick of having an affair with Sally which he denies.

 

The next morning, Adam calls round to ask Mick if he wants to join him on a run. He is surprised to find Shauna is dressed up as King George! She explains Liam has a famous people day at school. Shauna tells Mick to go for the run.  Whilst in the park, Adam asks Mick how him and Shauna got together.  Mick realises that Adam didn't go all that way to talk about Shauna, and Adam starts talking about Recall.  Mick warns Adam from spending time with Frank and that he should concentrate on getting a woman!  On shift that evening, George arrives to give blood with Adam, Frank and Charlie watching. Pearce notices that George has passed out at the sight of the needle!  Mick offers to give Sally a lift home but she says its out of his way. Shauna arrives at the station dressed up as SpiderMan with Liam to give blood. She asks Sally and Frank if they want to go out but Mick gets her home quickly!

Lisa offers him her chips and goes to the loo, and while she's gone Charlie tells the other two that he is taking her out that night..  At the Station next morning, Frank asks Mick if he has told Shauna about the inquiry. He asks Mick if Shauna is ill (meaning mentally), Mick tells him to get lost (in not so many words).  Lisa is cooking while Adam asks her about her "performance" last night with Charlie, she tells him that they did it five times!  Sally tells Mick that Shauna called, but he calls her into his office. He tells her that what happened between her and Frank shouldn't happen again.  She asks him what he'd do if it was someone out of work, but he tells her what she does in her own time is her business and he doesn't need the procedure crap and she storms out.

As the others fight the fire downstairs, Mick is forced to smash the window to get out.

 

After the fire is out, the crew look at the mess, the kitchen has gone.  Mick goes to see Shauna in hospital, she tells him she was fiddling about with the wiring.  The Watch is sitting around the mess table thinking about what could have been when Pearce tells the watch he's officially in charge and that they should eat.  Mick has to comfort Liam at the hospital, but George interupts to tell him uniform are outside.

 

Adam is still pondering about what Mick and Sally knew about Recall, she is still apologising.  Lisa tells Craig to stick up for himself, and he tries to ask her out but fumbles his words.  She realises what he is saying and says yes.  Mick attends the inquiry, and finds out that Sally told the inquiry the truth. He tells the inquiry his judgement is to blame for Recall's death.  The Watch sit at the mess table awaiting news.  Mick hears the conclusion which finds him clear of any blame. Mick is told he needs a break from the Watch.  He goes back to the station and tells them hes clear, much to the relief of the others. Even Adam is pleased and everyone heads off to the pub. Mick buys the drinks and they toast his success but Mick says he cant stay because his family needs him and he has to choose the one he hasn't chosen for ages.  Frank catches up to him and asks him if he is coming back. He thanks him for the advice, and Frank gives him a package to give to Shauna, a snowstorm!  Sally watches thinking Frank isnt so bad after all.
