The games are almost about to start but there is a problem with the closing ceremony - the main act has gone missing. John's lateral thinking solves the problem. As Tim promotes himself the team manage to escape the problems of the games.
When an act for the closing ceremony (The Seekers) turns out to be unavailable, the team stand in as understudies during a rehearsal. John Farnham provides personal instruction to another understudy-the team's secretary (Tim) who has obtained a place in the opening ceremony. The series ends with the minister's secretary and the team scoring "the best seats in the house"-an aircraft ride out of Australia during the Olympic Games. Comedian Tony Martin makes a subliminal cameo as a barman.
Unable to resolve her difficulties with Volkov, Elisabeth Bennett decides to avenge the death of Magwitch and to set the Pequod's course to Africa and find Mr. Kurts. John, Bryan, Gina and Nicholas go along for the ride. The games team cope with the hype as the Opening Ceremony draws near.
