Cottam can't bring himself to pass on news about forced retirement, an investigation into lonely heart murders leads to a night of blind dates, and Briggs can't believe his luck when he receives an offer of casual sex.
Briggs realises he may have ended his career at a drunken gala dinner, the Marquess of Tipperary faces questions about indecent exposure, and Sparky the Magic Piano manages to give the Drug Squad the runaround.
Briggs gets creative in his obsession to win performance points, Louis puts a spanner in the works by getting them assigned to the Fine Art Squad, and an artist reports the theft of a strangely valuable installation.
A figure skater claims sabotage when she's injured in an attack, the case is closed just as Briggs and Louis think they've cracked it, and a lack of an identification card proves problematic for a door-to-door assignment.
Briggs and Louis head off to Gibraltar for a holiday they won on Bullseye, Cottam's keen to nab a former friend who nearly ended his career, and a lack of jurisdiction leaves no choice but to beg for the worst kind of help.
Briggs and Louis are assigned to keep an eye out for egg-snatchers; the professor of ornithology has to explain why he's hanging around; and falling asleep proves costly when the nest gets emptied in the night.
