* The team task in "The Customised Inhaler" involves solving a riddle that is written in a code and needs to be deciphered first. The key to the code is on the back of a jigsaw that has been split up, with one half in the lab and the other in the living room. [[TheSmartGuy Victoria]], who is in the lab, manages to decipher most of the riddle with only her half of the jigsaw; and by the time it occurs to her that Alan has the other half, she mainly checks with him that her deductions were correct.
-->'''Alex''': I mean, I have to say, we didn't think anyone could solve it with only half the jigsaw, but [Victoria] managed to do it.

* Ivo's attempt at the "fake something" task, which at first appears to be another one of his regular EpicFail attempts, as he apparently wraps himself in toilet paper to create a shambolic fake mummy that can barely move or talk. Then, as Alex blows the whistle on his attempt, [[spoiler:he pops his head round the door asking how it went, revealing the mummy wasn't him at all]], much to Alex's and (in the studio) Greg's shock.

* When tasked with creating tension, Steve Pemberton sets up a recreation of the Russian roulette scene from Film/TheDeerHunter, with himself and Alex playing two simultaneous games of Hangman. Alex takes an early lead, but Steve catches up and guesses Alex's word - 'nightclub' - leaving Alex to eat the forfeit (a concoction containing yoghurt and hot sauce.) Steve fills in his own word - 'adjutant' - and then turns to Alex, says 'It means 'assistant'', drops his pen, and walks out.
