Whilst Linda suspects that Brittas isn't going to be that cooperative, Gavin expresses his belief that he is a reasonable man and that he'll understand. The very next scene has Brittas angry at the trio for what he believes is a mutiny against him.

With Tim and Linda unable to find the gypsies, they and Gavin propose locking Brittas in the area under the swimming pool so that he doesn't go down in history as a mass murderer, to the point of initiating a mutiny against Brittas. They're unable to go through with it however due to the centre's marsh gas-induced destruction.

* DreamPeople: With the reveal that the show was AllJustADream, it means that the only real characters we have been following the entire series have been Brittas and to a lesser extent Helen. The majority of the staff, whilst based on the people on the train in the real world, have different roles and pairings in Brittas' dream, even occasionally dreaming themselves and having separate plots from Brittas. This doesn't even go into characters who don't appear to have real-world counterparts, such as the staff members who were written out earlier on and, despite their importance in this episode, Carole's twins Jessica and Emily.
