One of the tighter scripts of the series.
Maggie falls for a hunky yet seemingly full-of-himself fireman. She practically throws herself at him, but he doesn't respond to the not subtle invitation.
During this, Grimm is looking for a man who claims to be a mad bomber, and as a result of his efforts, is allowed to work with Special Operations to bring the man in. Fowler, meanwhile, deals with mundane events like a rude, snarky caller and cats in trees. Of course, a suspect throwing up in his hat finds a way into the mix as well!
Who Maggie's fireman falls for was nicely underplayed but obvious if you look for it. The reveal in the script is classic and still hilarious due to the reactions of all involved.
A game of dominos never sounded funnier either!
A fun early episode! I recommend it strongly.moreless

ADD QUOTES- Habib: I was that rat-faced, I waved goodbye, went bum-up over the privet and flashed my frillies at the dirty curtain-twitcher at number 29. Dawkins: Sounds like a big night. Is there anything you woke up regretting? Habib: Yeah, that I didn't shag him. Edit
- Goody: We're all part of the thin blue line, isn't that right inspector? Fowler: That's right Goody, the only difference being that your bit of the thin blue line is slightly thicker. Edit
- Fowler: This man is no more a terrorist than I am Joanna Lumley. Edit
