The Bill: DCs Eva Sharpe and Ken Drummond investigate when a black man is set alight on the Jasmine Allen estate, and a graffiti tag on a nearby wall leads them to Brad Kelso, one of a gang of youths who don't hesitate to make racist comments to DC Sharpe. Concerned that he might be violent like his dad, PC Gary Best agrees to a magazine personality test conducted by PC Honey Harman. DS Debbie McAllister takes her chance to surprise DS Phil Hunter in the shower after the two of them fall in the mud while investigating a severed arm found on a beach. The CID love triangle hots up as DC Juliet Becker notices their behaviour. In prison, Polly Page has befriended Eileen, a Customs & Excise officer who insists she has been framed by her boyfriend. Polly asks Cathy Bradford to do some investigating, but DC Becker instead asks Polly to keep an eye on her cellmate. Calling for urgent assistance, Sgt Dale Smith is attacked by Brad Kelso and his gang, but when Kelso stops breathing after being arrested by DC Sharpe, Smithy thinks Eva may have gone too far and let Kelso's taunts get the better of her.
