The window cleaner is distressed because she claims that Victor had indecently exposed himself to her when she was cleaning the windows; he was drying himself but she says she's going to report him to the police. The police arrive, but they're off-duty officers doing their Jehovah's Witness duty, and Victor reacts rudely to them before throwing them out.

Margaret tells Victor she's just hear that a cousin of his has died. Freshly depressed, she takes him to try a yoga class for the elderly. Ironically, the fitness instructor dies mid-meditation, whilst another student finds her hip replacement seizes - and then quickly faints, leaving the Meldrews to seek help.

After his cousin's funeral, Victor begins noticing his own health problems: lumps behind his ears and a rash across his entire upper body foremost, whilst consultation of a medical dictionary does nothing to help matters. Attempting to relax whilst Margaret is out, Victor sits in the back garden to read his newspaper but soon falls asleep. Whilst slumbering a thick fog descends, and when he wakes up Victor believes he has died - before managing to knock himself out in the mist!
