Clive is leaving to join the police, but his colleagues have more important things on their minds. Proctor is concerned about a derogatory photo of her going viral, and Tariq and Andy are confused about their relationship.

The team deal with their first case of an asylum seeker.

The death of one of Northend's best mechanics throws Andy and Tariq in a quandary as they try to remember who he was. Meanwhile, Grant tries to get others to join in drowning his sorrow and Clive keeps dropping broad hints that he is expecting a surprise birthday party.

A detective from the London Met takes charge for the day.

Two rowdy drunks from a hen party give Clive a hard time. Grant falls for a beautiful Ukrainian, who isn't laughing at his jokes. Andy is trying to avoid Proctor and find a way to shed her 'no fun' image.

Chief Inspector Proctor is sent a set of new directives from the Home Office that amount to an instruction to carry out racial profiling.
