Synopsis

Randall is offered by a dodgy Irish friend to take part in a money salvaging operation whereby £500,000 of old money is to be burnt, but is replaced with newspaper pieces. Neither informing the police nor accepting any part in the crime, Randall watches from a nearby street and is caught by the police and held in custody. His lady friend lawyer tracks down his dodgy friend at his London club finding the real culprits are his lady dancers, who attempt to fly to France in escape. However, leaving it to the ghost Marty, who is able to manipulate their navigational equipment and get them to return to an airfield in Surrey, they are captured, freeing Randall. Back at the police station Marty informs Jeff that Elizabeth is driving O’Malley home, to which Jeff realising what she is like, tells Marty what she is about to do. The episode ends showing Elizabeth’s car in a field, where inside Elizabeth and O’Malley are kissing, about to have sex.

Overview

In this episode Jeff's morality is questioned as he considers accepting the money to be incinerated.
