Quotes:
⢠'I'm a Berserker, and you will follow my orders!' 'Oh, I don't think so!' - Paul Langer, and Sarah making a dramatic entrance!
⢠'I have got some very clever friends!' - Sarah, on Alan and Maria
⢠'Do you miss your mum and dad?' 'I can't really remember them â I was a baby when they died. Yes, sometimes, I think I'd do anything just to see them again.' - Clyde, Sarah, and a hint for next week's episode...
⢠'Clyde â you don't have to be cool all the time.' 'There's a lot of my dad in me, I saw that today. And I think, I think if it wasn't for you lot, I'd be weaker, like him.' 'And I think you underestimate yourself.' - Sarah and Clyde. Dawww.

Finally, it's back to that lovely striped waistcoat for the final scene:
