It is the first of two episodes that form a linked narrative, ending with "Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse". SynopsisTed is panicking over the upcoming "All-Priests five-a-side Over-75s Indoor Challenge Football Match" between teams from Craggy Island and Rugged Island, which will be led by his rival Father Dick Byrne. Ted fears the parochial house has been bugged by Dick to overhear his plans, and has been losing sleep, forcing him to drink "Dreamy Sleepy Nightie Snoozy Snooze", an alcoholic sleeping aid. Ted explains to Dougal that he and Dick have a forfeit system, so that the priest of the losing team must do an embarrassing challenge set forth by the other. Ted starts practicing with his team, but notices that both star players, Jack and his strike partner, Father Nick, are missing. He discovers that Nick has just died. While paying condolences to Fr. Niall Haverty, Ted observes the expensive coffin that Niall bought for Nick, as well as a pair of fake hands and a remote-controlled wheelchair, and causes these as impulse buys that would only be of use in a "completely ludicrous situation". Ted later finds that Jack has been asleep for 14 days, which is unusual for Jack, and is shocked to see Jack drank the full bottle of "Dreamy Sleepy Nightie Snoozy Snooze". On the day of the match, Jack still has not woken up. Worse, Dick has brought Fr. Romeo Sensini, a rather fit senior compared to all the other players, for Rugged Island. Ted laments that he is stuck in a "completely ludicrous situation", when inspiration hits. He gets Niall's wheelchair to use to move the unconscious Jack on the floor, while using the fake hands to hide the remote that he is holding. Despite Romeo's abilities, Jack "leads" the team to a 2-1 victory over Rugged Island. As Ted celebrates with the others and announces Dick's forfeit - to kiss Father Cyril on the cheek to play on Dick's homophobia - the referee comes in and notices Ted's fake hands, and discovers the wheelchair remote. The referee declares Craggy Island's victory is annulled for cheating, giving Rugged Island the win. Ted waits anxiously for several days before he gets a letter from Dick with his forfeit, and is horrified when it is to "kick Bishop Brennan up the arse!" {{Wikiquote|Father Ted#Escape from Victory|Escape from Victory}}Continuity
