PCs Will Fletcher (Gary Lucy) and Diane Noble (Kaye Wragg) attend a shout at a nail bar where the owner, Stacey Jackson (Kirsty Mitchell) arrived at work to discover her new equipment had been stolen. Diane updates Detective Sergeants’ Phil Hunter (Scott Maslen) and Stuart Turner (Doug Rao) who have arrived to take over the investigation and Phil is amused to hear that Stuart, used to date Stacey and now she manicures his nails. Stacey confesses to Phil and Stuart that Lisa Bryant (Ursula Early), an ex-employee was sacked after attempting to pinch Stacey’s clients and set up her own business. Diane questions Lisa who claims Stacey neglected her business whilst she was wined and dined by her boyfriend Colin Bowden (Steve Swinscoe). Will arrives with some interesting CCTV which shows a man loitering outside the nail salon, then getting into a car registered to a Graham Conrad before driving off. Stuart speaks to the housekeeper at Graham’s address who explains that he has been away, but his driver, Colin, has permanent access to his car.
Phil, on a mission to find out the truth about Colin and Stacey, phones to book a manicure and he reacts badly when Stuart winds and accuses him of being unprofessional. Will and Diane are intrigued when Stuart ropes them in on a practical joke and conspire to photograph Phil having his nails done. Will and Diane appear at the nail bar just as Stacey is about to volunteer information about Colin. Phil is livid and Jack is unimpressed when he walks in to discover Phil and Stuart fighting in CID. Jack tells Phil that his reaction to Stuart’s earlier prank shows a complete disrespect for the job and Phil is stunned when Jack says the only way he’ll learn is to go back on the beat for a while – in uniform.
Elsewhere, PC Lewis Hardy (Aml Ameen) volunteers himself and Roger Valentine (John Bowler) to the task of sifting through paperwork and making calls in the hope of ascertaining information on the skull which was discovered a few weeks back. Roger is unimpressed and questions whether Lewis is following up the investigation to impress his girlfriend, Tash (Cascade Brown) as it was her younger brother, Rudy (James Bellamy) who found the skull.
