In the fifth episode of Flashpoint's first season titled "Who's George," the team is called in to resolve a tense hostage situation at a bank. The situation quickly escalates as the leader of the hostage-takers, a man named George, takes control of the negotiator's phone and demands the release of his partner, who had been arrested earlier for failing to appear in court.

George is distraught and unstable, and his demands become increasingly dangerous and unreasonable. The team must act fast to prevent any harm coming to the hostages and the police officers on the scene. The team leader, Sgt. Gregory Parker, tries to establish a personal connection with George in order to defuse the situation, but it quickly becomes clear that George is too far gone.

The situation is made even more complicated by the presence of a second group of robbers who are also targeting the bank. The two groups are at odds with each other, and the team must navigate between them to prevent any violence from breaking out.

As the situation unfolds, we see flashbacks of George's past and the events that led him to this point. We learn about his struggles with addiction and his attempts to turn his life around. We also see the impact of his actions on his family and loved ones.

Throughout the episode, tension builds as we see the team struggling to find a way to resolve the situation without anyone getting hurt. The stakes are high, and the team's actions have far-reaching consequences.

Despite their best efforts, the situation quickly spirals out of control, and the team must make some tough decisions. The episode ends with a shocking twist that leaves the team reeling and sets the stage for the rest of the season.

Overall, "Who's George" is a tense and gripping episode of Flashpoint that showcases the team's skills and expertise in handling high-pressure situations. With strong performances from the cast and a well-crafted story, it's a great example of why the show was so successful during its run.
