A series of disturbances at a retirement home leads the administrators to seek help from Shakespeare & Hathaway, but they have scarcely started work when the wife dies in an apparent suicide.

!!This episode provides examples of:
* BleakAbyssRetirementHome: PlayedWith. At first it doesn't seem like too bad a place to live, it's just that the seniors living there often resent the loss of their independence. Then it turns out that at least one resident died of a heart attack because the administrator was sick of hearing false alarms and disabled her alert button.
* CoolOldGuy: Mr. Falstaff, who immobilizes Sebastian (approximately one-quarter his age) in a chokehold and says during his service with the British Army in Burma he made good friends with Gurkha commandos.
* DirtyWork: Going undercover as an orderly at the retirement home, Sebastian says Frank and Lu do ''not'' want to know the full catalogue of his duties.
* GrowingOldSucks: Mr. Falstaff admits to being behind the sabotage at the retirement home, just because he is pleading with his son to give staying with him one last try.
* HenpeckedHusband: Owain Pincott, to his wife Penelope.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The episode takes its title from ''Theatre/TheTempest''.
* MeaningfulTitle: "The chimes at midnight" refers to an old man whose wild nights and epic partying are behind him.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Sebastian helps liven up the retirement home by racing Falstaff on electric scooters. When told he has to quit for the day, Sebastian pouts and asks if he can come back tomorrow.
* RetiredBadass: Mr. Falstaff, an ex-soldier who still knows some dirty tricks the Gurkhas taught him.
