Episode 3 Funds, Funds, Funds
almost all the party’s funds are going to Eamon’s party rival, Mary McBride. How can he divert these funds into his campaign, and not alienate Mary and the party executive? Does the answer lie in approaching a prominent auctioneer, sympathetic to the party and Eamon’s election program?

Episode 6 Armageddon
election day. Mary McBride is confident and jubilant, Eamon is jittery and the opposite. He cranks up every engine in the vicinity – transportation for all the senior citizens, his mother to line up the nuns from the convent, and begs the party handler for more help – will it be enough?
Episode 7 What Lola wants
a politically important American lady, with a reputation, visits Dublin. Impressed by Eamon’s political speech on election day, the party handler designates Eamon to entertain her. Will Eamon be able to withstand the heat from the Washington hurricane?
Episode 8 Dynasty
the party think Eamon’s campaign lacked a certain political pedigree. He instructs his mother, girlfriend and campaigners to dig up some useful pedigree history – heroes in the Rising, martyred priests in the family etc. The family heritage they dig up is quite shocking – especially to the party handler and the party leader.
