The gang belatedly get involved in the Great Famine, the one thing they didn't need to get involved in. Callum's new job at the Ballymac Folk Museum sends him down a spiral of method acting as a starving peasant. And he's helped along in this grovelling subservience by his new boss, tyrannical land steward Phillip. The sudden news, to Jordan, that a million people died during the potato famine causes him to finally develop empathy, and it turns out to be a real pain.
