New recruit Kevin panics when he finds a child trapped in the back of one of the crushed cars and Sicknote really is sick on discovering, amidst all the carnage and confusion, the old lady's severed head.

Dorothy confides in Josie who helps Tony to secretly return the cash to Tates office. The matter is closed.
