Ted is extremely worried about the forfeit, fearing that Bishop Brennan will send him to a parish even worse than Craggy Island after he carries it out. Dick Byrne has insisted that Father Dougal take a photograph as proof. To provide an opportunity for Ted to carry out the forfeit, Dick calls the bishop to tell him that his likeness has miraculously appeared in the skirting board of the Craggy Island parochial house. Bishop Brennan phones Ted, telling him he will be coming the next day, leaving Ted with no excuse not to carry out the forfeit.
