Overall (0-10)	Joseph	This episode certainly wins my award for the most realistic episode, and is really indicative of Levene's new style. The best episode in Season Six (looking at it logically).
	Piers	This was in a five-way tie for the #5 spot of my top episodes, pipped at the post by The Joker. It is one of the finest of the season and well worth you're seeing.

Government officials trying to attend a peace conference have been having disquieting dreams, which become reality with fatal results.
The Avengers are called in to ensure they do finally attend, but the next official tells Steed of a missing button on his butler jacket, and seeing a lion before he died, all of which come true. The Avengers babysit the next man to fill the post, but all three feel a sting on their necks and fall asleep, troubled by nightmares. It's all a plan of Becker, an Eastern European observer at the conference, and his cohorts, but Steed and Emma individually find the storage area where the delegates have been drugged and brainwashed. Stapley is exposed as the inside man, the bandaid on his cheek covering no wound and he dies by one of the of deaths predicted in the dreams - crushed by a chandelier.
Mrs Peel predicts a visit to the theatre.
