Episode Summary
Ted finally escapes to a new posting at Castlelawn Parochial House, Dublin, with civilised company and frequent jaunts to Paris. Unfortunately a slight misunderstanding over some expenses sends Ted back to his old compadres on the isalnd. After a spot of lad's housecleaning results in Ted being mistakenly tarred as a racist, Ted holds a celebration of Chinese culture to clear his name (though 'Kung Fu Fighting' might not have been an inspired choice of soundtrack). Just when it looks like a happy ending might be in store, a mix-up over some soft furnishings and Nazi memorabilia leaves the Chinese community with a sweet'n'sour taste in the mouth.moreless

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Mrs.Carberry: Fecking Greeks! Colm: It isn't the Greeks, it's the Chinese he's after. Father Ted: I'm not after the Chinese! Mrs.Carberry:I don't care who he gets as long as I can have a go at the Greeks. They invented gayness! Edit
- Ted: That's right, Dougal. You see, ordinary shops sell what look like black socks, but if you look closely, you'll see that they're very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue. Dougal:: That's true. I thought my uncle Tommy was wearing black socks, but when I looked at them closely, they were just very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue. Ted:: Never buy black socks from a normal shop. (whispers) They shaft you every time! (Dougal looks worried) Edit
- Ted: How long has Father Jack been living in there? Dougal: Uh, he started just a few days after you left. Ted: Maybe he's agoraphobic? Dougal: Jack scared of fighting? I don't think so, Ted. Edit
