Helen and Carol figure out the receptionists' twins were fathered by Gordon -a twin, father of Helen's twins- when everybody was in costume at Julie's party, believing he was with his wife.

How?

I better do a review for the entire series to say that I like the show and actually think it's funny.

This is the most ridiculous episode of The Brittas Empire being cursed by gypsies?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! hey guys why not hire David Boreanaz as a guest star as Angel? Okay From The Pieces I Could Follow Collin Does Some Crap About Noah's Ark I Mean Don't Get Me Wrong I Accept All Religions But...Noah's Ark & Brittas Empire Don't Mix. Okay Then You Hear Gypsies Cursed Brittas & It Imply's Anyone Who Eats Food Made By Him Dies...Backup...Why Just Make It Food When They Want Revenge For Him Kicking Them Out? Why Not Make It A Worse Punishment? Then The Curse Comes True...Julie Throughout The Episode Is Consistently Deciding Whether She Should Marry Some Guy That Is Never Introduced In The Series. Carol Finds Out That Her Twins Are Gordon's.

The End Of The Episode Implys That It Was All A Dream...None Of It Existed & He's On The Train That Is Heading To Whitbury. Nothing Existed? The Writers Can't F##k With The Viewers Like That If I Ended Off The Series It Would Be With Brittas Leaving Then He Lets The Workers Rest In Peace & Gavin Replaced Brittas So Then It Could Be A Spin-Off Or At Least The Brittas Retirement Not Him Appearing On Noah's Ark When Collin Is Noah.

The Series Is A Great Series But It Is Not Worth It To See This Episode Nor The Series 5 Finale Because Both Episodes Are A Waste Of Time.

"I Have A Dream..." Like The Statement This Episode Is Irrelevant To The Review The Episode Is Irrelevant To The Series.

The 7th Season Is Easily The Weakest Out Of All The 7 Seasons Like I Say This Series Should've Ended In Series 5 With Brittas Dying Even Though One Of My Favourite Episodes Is "Brittas In Love"...So Make That Series 6 At Least That Ending Could've Been Like "The Hotel Inspectors" For "Fawlty Towers" & Last But Not Least This Episode Isn't Funny.
