Summary Mr. Brittas has the staff play an intricate board game which paints a grim vision on life, seemingly designed to show that hard work pays, but as Tim finds out, it only demonstrates that life is unfair. Councilor Jack Drugget, the new man in charge of sports, announces that the council simply is no longer prepared to foot the bill for the Leisure Centre's enormous deficit, and offers Brittas a generous pension with a bonus if he leaves the county, but he won't hear of it. Receptionist Carole asks Laura to help convince Gordon that her son Ben needs a larger cupboard. Helen brings in a dog that only knows nasty tricks, such as biting the tops off swimsuits, so telling him is out of the question. Drugget finds a note that 'H.' took all the petty cash and realizes Helen used it to buy the dog; grumbling that he takes away the first thing ever she really wanted, she goes missing. The councilor insists on pressing charges unless Gordon takes the blame--as pretext to sack him. The dog proves a lovely pet but stays out of his doghouse--Helen was hiding there. Gordon packs his things, but on the way out he finds Carole also sacked and therefore homeless, joining his guillotine nightmares.
