London's Burning: Episode 2

Blue Watch gets a videotape in the mail informing them that their mascot has been kidnapped. Instead of paying ransom they invade Borough St. Station at night and Malcolm steals the dentures of one of their firemen, with which he scares Colin to death. Next morning, the fuming but toothless fireman from Borough St. turns up with his mates, demanding his teeth back. Recall hands them over in exchange for the kidnapped plastic fireman. Nick is fuming when he hears the full story, but even when he grills his firemen in the station office, they can hardly surpress giggling. Two little kids play around in a car, setting it on fire with the smaller one trapped inside. Although Blue Watch can put out the blaze, the poor kid is fried. POP's is auditioning for "Richard III". After securing the male lead for himself, Sicknote casts a newcomer named Cynthia as his partner, leaving Jean fuming with jealousy. Colin learns that he may stay in the fire brigade despite his earlier bungles. Nick is in court about a bungle and faulty orders during an earlier shout (?). A guy accidentally sets the attic of his house on fire and Blue Watch is called to put it out. After the shift, Colin has a big party to celebrate his success, but his Mom is NOT pleased when she catches him and Zoe snogging.
