Executive Producer Credits, Dame Terry and Sir Harvey Lee
The hosts thank high-level donors for the upcoming ninth anniversary show. Terry is anointed "Dame Terry of Tosa," and Sir Harvey Lee is promoted to Baronet. The segment includes various birthday wishes for producers and a discussion on the "Value for Value" funding model.

The "bomb" provided by undercover agents was a non-functional dud, and Loewen was apprehended before entering the tarmac.
