Heartbeat

Snapped (6x7)

: 13, 1996

A dodgy fashion photographer comes to the village with two glamour models, but he wants locals in his pictures including Claude, for a more rustic country feel! A man is sacked from a job he had been doing for years only because of a few minor mistakes for which he wasn't entirely responsible. He then gets very drunk and goes home and ends up taking his mother hostage with a gun. All of the Ashfordly section are on the case, and Nick tries to talk him out because the man knows and trusts him. But it doesn't work and Nick is keen to get away because he's supposed to be going away for the weekend with Jo. Once he's finally taken down the station he says he will only talk to Nick, so Nick reluctantly agrees to stay. He tells Jo what's happened but she isn't understanding, and tells Nick they're finished.
