At the talk with the French President the first issue is the puppy gift. The French President tells Jim the French people will view the rejection of the gift as an affront to France. Turning to the Channel Tunnel, he states that the French people cannot accept another slap in the face. Then Sir Humphrey brings in the evidence of the bomb planted by the French police. Jim acts like he is completely shocked by this, and states that if this becomes public, the British people will not want to make any concessions. The French President has no choice but to agree to the border in the middle of the Tunnel, half the signs in English and the starting ceremony in Dover. Jim Hacker has triumphed!
