Characters: , , , , ,
  • Pat and Tony are on the final leg of getting everything ready for the inspector. It’s all slipping into place. Tony is annoyed about having to field questions from suppliers and customers; he’s going to suggest that they phone Tom direct. It’s all too much, just like it was when John died. Suddenly, the time of reckoning arrives, Lindsey Peters, the inspector, is here.
  • Lindsey is being shown round, Pat and Tony mention that Tom has had some recent difficulties and is away at present. They begin to alert the inspector that something may be wrong, and begin to dig themselves into trouble. Lindsey is happy, providing that they have the situation in hand.
  • Adam and Jenny take a look at the kitchen development. Adam sets off to test planting conditions for maize drilling. He admits to getting along slightly better with Charlie. Brian appears and mentions the argument between Rob and Charlie concerning time management. A little later, Brian meets with Jenny to discuss colour charts and tester pots. Brian is not in his natural element and wonders if in the face of so many white paints, if they actually make coloured paint any more.
  • Lindsey is being very thorough and finds invoices relating to Elbury Feed, a non-organic feed supplier. Tony and Pat have no idea why Tom would be dealing with them. Lindsey suggests doing a check of the feed store. Pat and Tony feverishly outline just what may have led to the invoices. Lindsey finds a good number of opened non-organic feed sacks.
  • Pat and Tony in panic try to explain Tom’s current personal circumstances, but it’s too little, too late. Lindsey has to report on this serious breach of standards and recommends suspension of certification. She leaves to prepare her report. Pat and Tony are left to argue it out amongst themselves. Suddenly the awful truth dawns on both of them, just how toxic could this find be? Could it spread to the loss of organic status for the whole enterprise? Is the farm itself at risk?
