At the parochial house, Ted trips up over a brick. He learns from Mrs Doyle that Jack is keeping the brick as a "pet", but Jack soon changes his mind, and throws the brick at Ted. Ted then receives a call from Pat, who, in revenge for losing his job, has planted a bomb on Dougal's milk float, which is set to arm if it exceeds 4 miles per hour and detonate if the speed drops below that. Ted is so worried that he forgets to hang up the phone, and goes to warn Dougal, but he already exceeded four. He directs Dougal to a roundabout while he races to the house to confer with Father Beeching and Clarke.
