Heat

Episode 2 of 6

A new environmental report on global heating causes temperatures to rise in the oversight team as they try to find ways to combat not only the report but global heating itself.

Ian and the team deal with a newly published report from the United Nations health agency which concludes that some key host cities may now be too hot to safely play football in due to global heating. The challenge is how to get ahead of the narrative so that the scheduled matches can still take place.

Meanwhile, Will is settling in to life at oversight, and the social media team figure that the only way to get a younger US audience interested in the tournament is to put a vibe under the whole idea of football by getting a major celebrity involved, if they can only find one.
