When poor, put-upon Graham says to Terry of Alan: "I'd wind the clock back even further and never have sat next to him in the dinner hall", you know the end is in sight for our bumptious anti-hero. Terry turned on him last week, but to no avail. Alan still arrives on the doorstep demanding to know why Terry hasn't turned up for work.
As the carefully seeded plots all burst forth, things take an even darker turn than in the three previous bleak episodes. This is involving drama, as you realise when you find yourself pleading with the characters to take a different course of action. The ending is strange in the extreme, but it's certainly no neat cop-out.
