Synopsis
Oliver Griffiths finds himself with a lot more freedom than he expected, and much more than the Doctor nor UNIT wanted...

Plot
Oliver Griffiths sits in his cell, alone and unnerved. The cell door opens and Caitrin Ryan enters the cell. She sits down with him and tells him that she’s been given executive orders to release him, directly from Number 10. Griffiths’ face lights up, but Caitrin’s couldn’t be any more different. Oliver Griffiths then confidently stands up, and looks at Caitrin smugly, telling her that he never did anything wrong and he was just protecting planet Earth.

Griffiths, later on, arrives at the Home Office, where his secretary is astounded to see him like she’s seen a ghost. She asks where he’s been, as they thought he’d be killed, Griffiths just smiles, before laughing, and he says that he had some (private) business to deal with. He moves to open the door to his office before his secretary tells him not to, but he does so anyway. Inside he finds the new Home Secretary, Sir Shaun Braunon, who replaced him. Griffiths smiles and says ‘hello’ to Shaun, despite being slightly upset that he’s been replaced.

Later on, Griffiths is on the phone to the Prime Minister, and his voice comes out of the other end saying that he’s been moved out of the Home Office but instead onto Education, as the PM believes there are quite a few interesting things he could do there.

Griffiths enters the Education Ministry, and finds a note on his new desk, which says ‘Intact Operation Fodder’. Griffiths looks out of the window, as a grin arrives on his face…
