Episode 006 is the 1663rd episode of The Bill.
Chandler attempts to rally the troops by appealing to their senses of honour in flushing out Conway's murderer. He wants it done 'by the book' but Des is convinced plodding round won't solve anything. In the meeting Mickey struggles to conceal his contempt for Chandler, convinced he was off with some tart when it should have been him in the car bomb attack. While the team sit in the canteen and reminisce about Conway they see Polly has returned to work early from her personal leave. She's determined to help where it's needed. Meanwhile Mrs Conway comes to pack up her husband's personal effects. When Chandler mentions a police funeral she lets him know everything her husband and the officers of Sun Hill really think about him. Des's heavy-handed approach with a suspect reveals information that a high level white racist is saving his lost reputation by retaliating against the police. Mickey and Kate check prime suspect, Jeff Simpson's files and discover Vik and Danny poorly reported his beating. Mickey's mind is racing, he tells Kate she's the only one he can trust to help him interview fellow CID officers. They grill Danny. Afterwards Danny races off to find Vik and warn him about the impending inquisition from Mickey and Kate, he suggests a timely visit to Meadows might just save his job and the growing backlash towards Sun Hill. Everyone searches for Vik but he's decided a private interview with Mr Simpson might be a better idea. As Meadows suspends the disgraced DS, he resigns.
