It’s New Year’s Eve at The Bull and Helen’s dressed to impress.

Keen to escape Jazzer’s bagpipe practice, Jim and Alistair head over to The Bull for lunch. At the bar, Robert is lamenting the loss of Eccles, while Kenton tries to change the topic of conversation. Later, at the party, Alistair compliments Robert on his Jacob Rees-Mogg outfit. Jim points out that Robert’s supposed to be Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Meanwhile Jim is dressed as Wackford Squeers.
Helen wows Lee with her fancy dress costume: Black Widow. Helen is worried it may be a bit sinister, but Lee assures her that Black Widow is a goodie. Lee has come in his karate outfit, which Helen suggests would make him Bruce Lee. They make the ultimate power couple. Finding The Bull a bit much, they decide to call it a night early and Lee invites Helen back to his place.
Just as midnight is about to strike, Jim makes a hasty exit, pursued by Alistair and Robert – he’s feeling ill and needs to be sick.
