Knowing that Shona has a phobia of fish the lads try to sabotage the video by arranging for a dead salmon to fall out of a locker onto her. However, when Avril McKechnie, who broke Steve's heart at school and is now a fervent, bagpipes-carrying Scottish Nationalist, tries to hi-jack the plane, Shona uses the salmon to disarm her.
