When Freddie goes into work Vince updates him on the police and Food Standards Agency investigations. They’re shutting the abattoir for four days to conduct a deep clean, while their products are being recalled from when Rochelle started. At least the live-stream conked out halfway through, but the Academy contract has probably gone.

Rochelle turns up at Rex’s boat, saying she owes him the truth. Rex is furious and doesn’t believe her claim that she didn’t know what they were planning to do. He accuses her of abusing Joy’s good reputation and betraying the community. Rochelle is sorry for what she’s put Joy through, but still believes their cause is right. When she bangs her elbow Rex reluctantly gives her painkillers, before Rochelle admits Saskia became a mother-figure to her. But the group kicked her out before Christmas and this was her way of getting back in with them. Rex feels completely betrayed, even though Rochelle insists she fell in love with him. When Rex tells her to hand herself in to the police Rochelle promises she will, after the weekend.

While discussing the protest Chelsea reckons they went about it the wrong way and Pat becomes defensive about animal welfare standards. Pat feels patience is the key to a good protest, like with Borsetshire Water. Chelsea wants Pat to ask Peggy about war hero, Reginald D. Later, Pat reports another Laurels resident told her Reginald saved two children from drowning in the Am. Pat and Chelsea then look at more wartime photos – all the people in them were unsung heroes, Pat reckons.
