Brittas tells Laura that he is going to sack Colin due to Colin's ineptitude. Colin arrives having been temporarily blinded in an accident. His great aunt - who raised him after his parents died - has died, and all of his money has been stolen by a man who has recently fled to Rio de Janeiro. The toilets are leaking gallons of human excrement. After Colin identifies and solves the problem, Brittas decides against firing him. Helen does not want to leave for Brittas' new job in Brussels.
