* Why was there never a Number 3, 4, or 5 at any time in The Village (not counting the ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E6TheComputerWoreMenaceShoes The Simpsons' parody]]'' of course

** It's one of the many Village mind-games. There are numbers that never show up and numbers (besides 2) that are apparently reassigned because multiple characters are seen wearing them. (Partly for the real-life reason that they only made a limited amount of number badges.) Perhaps some of the "stand-in" Number 2s (as suggested by "Its You're Funeral") are actually 4s and 5s who've been temporarily promoted.

Added DiffLines:

** Note that the road the four are on is the A20, which connects London with the port of Dover. There is no plausible location for the Village in that part of England. So it is most likely that the four have driven through continental Europe and have taken the ferry to Britain, and that their joie-de-vivre is due to them reaching home.

** "[[Recap/ThePrisonerSE16OnceUponATime Once Upon a Time]]" brings up an unidentified "State Secret" (as opposed to a Top Secret) and implies that he disagreed with the State, and his bosses, about how it was handled. Thus, he resigned as a matter of conscience. Completely consistent with the above, too.
