P.C. Haynes and P.C. Ramsey attend a domestic where a pregnant woman, Joanna Mancini, has been beaten by her husband with a bike chain. As Haynes and Ramsey try to calm the Mancinis down, Joanna drives her husband's car into a wall, and he retaliates by dropping appilances like her sewing machine, television and vacuum cleaner out of the window. Ramsey breaks into the house, but the husband has disappeared. Ramsey climbs into the loft to look for him, and Antonio jumps him, causing them to fall through the ceiling. When Haynes and Ramsey go to arrest Antonio, Joanna attacks them. Both of them are arrested for assaulting police officers, but as they are being lead out, the Mancini's teenage son arrives...

Ramsey picks up Burnside, Carver and Lines just as they are leaving a resturant but before they get going, a lady (Mrs Mancini) comes along and says there are people in her car having sex. It is her husband.

The other lady wants Carver to get her clothes out of the car. As the CID officers walk away talking about the other woman, they hear a scream and find her on the pavement. As Tosh and Carver go up the stairs, they are pushed back down by a group of Italians who have a punch up. They carry on the fight at the hospital where Mancini ends up being attacked. The officers pull a practical joke on Claire and leave her in a mortuary drawer.

Beech loses his cool with an antsy DS from stafford row, while Skase falls for the charm of his female DC.
