The Chief is keen to make amends for a slip of the tongue and keeps digging deeper as his extended apology lasts for ever. The traffic cops make a big noise to salute the key workers, while the rural officers handle a massive marrow bust-up at the horticultural show.

Vigilant beat cops Fletcher and McLaren recover the same drugs twice. Officer Karen sees some action when violence occurs at a political summit, and Acting Sergeant Ken Beattie cannot please everyone or anyone with his socially distanced community quiz.

Cool-headed cybercop Archie Pepper gets a new colleague and is soon overcome by red-hot passion. Meanwhile, urban beat team Fletcher and McLaren de-escalate a celebrity fracas in a city centre chippy, while Bobby desperately seeks advice from Officer Karen on his face covering.
