Brittas decides his leisure centre has "sick building syndrome", and looks for a cure.

Brittas closes the leisure centre in order to train his staff how to cope with emergencies, be they "fires, earth tremors, outbreaks of contagious diseases in the toilets, poisonous gases or chemical spillages". Unfortunately, the staff don't take the exercise seriously. Meanwhile Helen Brittas is trying to cope with life without the aid of tranquilisers.
