[1] Blackadder is visited by the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells, who reminds him that he owes £1,000 to the Bank of the Black Monks.
But Baldrick points out that the bank has several branches and informs his master that not only people will not remember Blackadder fondly when he dies, but they also be slapping each other on their shoulders, laughing and calling him "old privy-breath".
Baldrick also claims that people use Blackadder's name as a byword for dog faeces, as they say "Whoops, I’ve trod on an Edmund."
Outraged that he is a laughing stock, Blackadder comes up with his own cunning plan and sends Baldrick out to obtain a number of items, including a sleeping draught and the finest portrait painter in England.
He uses this to successfully blackmail the bishop into writing off the debt and giving Blackadder more than enough money to buy back his house.
