A good episode where something is needed to ne explained...

First, I want to say that's the first and also maybe the only episode of the series where we see John Steed kissing Emma Peel - on the cheek, OF COURSE - and, when you are a fan of the series, that's very incredible to watch. And the second thing is that I have not quite understood the link between the ghost appearance and the rest of the topic, the underground army seekink for UK domination...But maybe after all I am dumb.
