At Lower Loxley Freddie’s rushing to get to work for the first big day of his initiative, hoping to persuade the local Academy Trust and their schools to use locally produced food, including Casey Meats. He’ll be giving local farmers a tour of the abattoir while Vince schmoozes the bigwigs from the Academy Trust. Lily is encouraging and wishes Freddie luck. But just as the tour’s about to start Lily calls Freddie - he’s left all his tour notes behind. Then Lynda texts, telling Freddie he’ll be cricket club captain as well as team captain after Tom dropped out – and there’s a long list of jobs to be done immediately! To alleviate Freddie’s stress levels Lily sends over photos of his notes and offers to cover Lynda’s cricket jobs for him. Freddie meanwhile conducts the likes of Eddie, Pat and Ruth on their tour of the abattoir. During this Pat and Ruth find time to discuss the hold-up over Kirsty’s house sale, plus the ongoing effects of the sewage spill and Pat’s determination to hold Borsetshire Water to account. After a successful conclusion to the tour Freddie leads everyone off to lunch and any further questions.

Eddie commiserates with busy Brad over what happened at the Pancake Eating competition then tries to guilt trip him into accepting a commission for a film promoting the use of hi-vis vests on farms. Brad can’t let George or the rest of them down. Later, Brad asks Lily if Freddie might let him go to cricket. Lily assures Brad, he’ll be more than welcome.
