After reaching the house, he asks to be excused for a trip to the toilet. Ted is left thoroughly confused by Bishop Jordan's thoughts about mortality and death. With the holy stone now a Class Two relic, the priests and bishops break up into three groups Bishop Facks and Father Jack stay at the site, whilst Ted walks back to the Parochial House with Bishop Jordan and Dougal with Bishop O'Neil. To Ted's astonishment, Bishop O'Neill is genuinely impressed by Jacks answers and goes so far as to say that Jack will make a valuable contribution during their visit. At that point a cleaned up Father Jack comes down and having been taught the phrases Ted showed him, is able to answer the Bishops questions. ![]() Mrs Doyle goes into a fit of hysterical laughter when Bishop Jordan says his housekeeper isn't as good and sometimes he thinks he should be making the tea for her. Dougal nearly gives him a heart attack when he gives a loud yell after finding out the film Aliens is on T.V, thinking Bishops love science fiction. The oldest, Bishop Jordan, remains mainly contemplative, although he warns them that he has a heart condition, having had a heart attack last year. Bishop Facks dominates conversation with enthusiastic rhetoric about improving the church's image. When the bishops arrive, the priests manage to interact fairly normally with the visitors. Mrs Doyle meanwhile has lost her contact lenses after a "dog ran off with them"- meaning she has to put on her ineffective spectacles which make her look like a "frustrated old bag." After much effort, Jack is able to enunciate "Yes" and "That would be an ecumenical matter" after Ted says there will be drink for him if he manages. He sets out to train Jack to say some all-encompassing phrases, apart from his usual stream of obscenities. Ted realizes that Jack, in his perpetual drunkenness, stands to offend the bishops. This means that the priests must be "on their best behaviour". Three bishops are to be sent to Craggy Island to perform the ceremony. He learns that the nearby Holy Stone of Clonrichert is being upgraded to a "Class 2 relic" by the Vatican.

After removing the drinking bottles, everything appears to be alright again. While dealing with serious plumbing problems at the parochial house, which turns out to have started after Ted gave the toilet an extra hard flush after Jack used it and furthered by Jack hiding alcohol bottles in the plumbing. The episode begins with Dougal reading a book of 'Gary Lineker's Book of Ghost Stories', supposedly too scary to complete - followed by a discussion with Ted on ghost sightings (following a rambling 'scary' story about Ted staying at his great-aunt's house where a girl had apparently hanged herself in his room, neither has seen any - Dougal's 'ghost' in fact being Ted himself). Craggy Island gets a visit by three bishops who have come to upgrade a local holy relic. ![]()
