Chaos reigns at the abattoir, and Vince finds himself in the spotlight.
Freddie鈥檚 looking forward to hosting the Academy Trust for lunch at the abattoir and suggests newly returned Rochelle takes a charcuterie producer on a guided tour instead of packing with her bad arm. Freddie promises her a security pass for the day with full access to the site. Once he鈥檚 gone Rochelle phones Saskia 鈥� it has to be today!
Helen, David and Vince are all there for the lunch, while Rex shocks Rochelle by turning up for the guided tour with the charcuterie manager. Once the tour鈥檚 over Rochelle and Rex head to the Conference room where Rex joins Helen and David. Rochelle goes outside to find Saskia and the other protesters, including pushy Carl. But there are more of them than Rochelle was expecting and they鈥檝e got balaclavas. She tries warning them off, but they鈥檝e hacked into a big screen at Felpersham Shopping Centre, determined to live-stream the protest. Rochelle pleads with them to stop, but Carl grabs her pass and lets them into the building, shutting Rochelle out.
The protesters storm into the Conference room, barricade themselves in, then handcuff Vince and Freddie. Rex confronts Carl, who threatens both him and Freddie with a broken bottle, before David assures Carl they鈥檒l listen to what they have to say. Saskia states her case against animal agriculture to camera, picking out farmers as villains of the piece. As the protesters leave Saskia claims they鈥檝e poisoned Casey Meats produce, before locking Vince and the others inside. Once they鈥檝e gone Helen unlocks the handcuffs and remembers she鈥檚 seen Saskia before, with Rochelle in Felpersham.
