Season 2, Episode 3: “Titmuss Regained - ...and the Next Day”

In the heat of the battle between Rapstone's traditionalists and its progressives, Titmuss faces a hard dilemma. Will he go back on his pro-development principles, or will he write off the things he values most? The consummate politician's answer is to devise a plan of breathtaking deviousness and dishonesty, one which he believes will square the circle.
