Matt Mathias, the Minister of Power, attacks Mogul publicly at a rig launch, deepening a stand-off with the Gas Council over the price of North Sea gas. Hoping to earn a move to London, Alec Stewart sets out to make peace with the minister at an embassy reception, where an innocent mishap involving Eileen O'Rourke is captured by a press photographer in a very misleading light.
