Back in the courtroom, Hancock announces the jury's "guilty" verdict. As they are about to leave, the judge reminds Hancock that he has still not returned the diamond ring that was stuck on his finger. Hancock suddenly realises that the ring has gone, and can't think what has happened to it. The ring was exceedingly valuable, and its disappearance is a very serious matter; the judge asks if the police inspector is in court. The episode ends with all twelve previous jury members appearing in the dock, accused of the theft of a £20,000 diamond ring, with Hancock — still acting as spokesperson for the ex-jurors — pleading guilty on behalf of them all, saying a prison sentence will be shorter than the trial. There are protests from the ex-jurors at this, and when Hancock demands to know who has the ring, a fight breaks out in the dock.
