Bridge Farm is inspected. Meanwhile, Jennifer's kitchen is an empty shell.

It's the day of the inspection at Bridge Farm. Tony's fielding calls from Tom's clients as he and Maurice sort out deliveries. Tony noticed that Pat was subdued at the party. She admits she was thinking about Tom. Recent experience has also brought back memories of John.

Jennifer shows Adam the kitchen so far - he's surprised that more hasn't been done. They discuss taskmaster Charlie. Adam's just glad he's hands on rather than stuck behind a desk. Brian is no help choosing colours with Jennifer.

Alice is trying to sell Kirsty's wedding dress but she needs a better story to get it sold.

Tony comes clean with the inspector that Tom has had some personal problems, and they had thought they could manage things themselves. The inspector understands. It's not a major issue, as long as they have the situation in hand.

Alarm bells ring when the inspector spots an invoice from an unapproved, non-organic supplier. They go to the feed store to check. There are a lot of empty feed sacks. It will obviously have gone out to the herd.

The inspector has no choice but to recommend suspension of the pig enterprise's organic status. Horrified Pat worries about the farm losing its organic status. Tony is left wondering what on earth Tom was thinking.
