The pressure is on for Eddie, and Ian鈥檚 suspicions are raised.
Oliver鈥檚 been invited to the Borsetshire Rural Food Fayre; he鈥檚 hoping to put in an appearance but wants to be back to see Eddie鈥檚 special attraction at the fete. Ian鈥檚 judging at the fayre. Oliver comments Helen鈥檚 hoping for a top prize with her cheese so Adil will select it for Grey Gables. Oliver confides they鈥檝e had to let the new Head of Food go already. He suggests Ian might be interested. Ian protests he鈥檚 a chef, not a head of food 鈥� and Adil wouldn鈥檛 want him anyway. Oliver鈥檚 disappointed, and Ian agrees to think about it. Later a judge pulls out of the food fayre, and Oliver suggests Helen take her place. It might impress Adil even more than a prize. Helen proceeds to mark down Cordwell Cream, the rival cheese being considered for Grey Gables. Ian protests judging has to be unbiased. Helen insists she marked it honestly.
At the fete Eddie鈥檚 allocated the stall positions wrongly, and people are complaining. Lynda reassures struggling Joy; she鈥檒l help smooth things over. Eddie arrives in a medieval warrener鈥檚 outfit, keen to get his surprise attraction set up for later. George passes Lynda the QR code for her brochures before setting off for his charity challenge, and all is underway. George鈥檚 bale stacking is a success, but Lynda can鈥檛 relax, fretting about Eddie. However when he unveils his Grundy Ferrets Wheel she鈥檚 charmed; it鈥檚 quite wonderful and captures perfectly the spirit of the fete. And her brochures have over five hundred downloads. What an event for her to bow out on!
