In spite of Bertorelli’s efforts with his pistol in the previous episode, the homing duck turns out not to be dead – just having a little rest. Monsieur Alphonse attempts to take its temperature in an intimate fashion, and is rewarded with a faceful of feathers. There is high entertainment when the duck turns out to be a she, and lays an egg in Fanny’s bed. René masquerades as a French general, complete with an exploding nose, which blows Herr Flick off his feet. Michelle asks to be alone (alern) with René, then declares undying love. Keep listening to find out how this plays out in a future instalment. The tone of the chat in Kim’s kitchen is as convivial as ever, not hindered by some fragrant melon gin.
