Nick must look after a Government Minister who is visiting the base. He regrets offloading these duties onto Mary when she unexpectedly takes a shine to him. Nick's attempts to keep the Minister away from Mary just make matters worse, especially as they involve high explosives.

Simon, meanwhile, takes it upon himself to become an over-zealous Fire Officer for the base and the Lt Colonel is desperate for his very own 4x4.
