An explosion on an oil platform makes Gro popular. Reiulf makes a fool of himself, and it's his fault they lose the election. Or did they win? Oh well, it doesn't matter.

The Labour Party packs a train full of journalists and booze and sets off on the municipal election campaign. It goes to hell.

Heads will roll after the municipal election. Reiulf misses the election broadcast because he is genuinely suffering from back pain. Gro has had enough of this.
