Raymond surprises Patricia by celebrating the Queen's birthday on their 10-year anniversary. Meanwhile, Grim is attempting to police shadowy alleyways of the Internet.

Grim is onto the case of his career which might be related to 'terrorism'. And Fowler is being plagued by a hoaxer who claims recently to have had morning coffee with Lord Lucan.

Dawkins is furiously jealous of Fowler's admiration for Habib, albeit as star of his pub quiz team. That worsens when CID needs her as sexy, secret bait for a 'honey trap'.

Complications ensue at the Rag Week, and Gasforth police have to deal with all sorts of pranks and bank robberies.

Pestered by his ex-wife, Fowler reluctantly agrees to let his son Bill stay with him and Dawkins for a fortnight. When Dawkins overhears Bill making love to his girlfriend in the bedroom, she becomes envious and attempts to talk Fowler into going to see a sex therapist.

Fowler and Grim clash over their views of handling juvenile troublemakers so they decide to take them on a retreat. Further tension arises when Goody punches a teenage skinhead for racially abusing Habib and is subsequently charged for assault.
