Rochelle finds herself on the spot, and the pressure rises for Freddie.
Freddie鈥檚 keen to meet with Lily, but not so much when she wants to talk about how to keep spirits up on the cricket team. He wants to get out of his head, but can鈥檛 shake the concern of the camera being planted at work. Vince is too distracted to think about it and besides, he doesn鈥檛 seem to be taking it very seriously. Freddie鈥檚 stuck his neck out and asked the staff if they know anything but they鈥檝e all played innocent 鈥� and he doesn鈥檛 want to appear as if he鈥檚 accusing them and risk the Academy visit next week. Every time he feels like he makes progress at work, something like this puts him back to square one. Lily reassures him. Vince clearly respects him. Freddie resolves to keep everything peeled. If something鈥檚 going on, he needs to know.
Rochelle meets up with Saskia, who鈥檚 keen to ascertain that Rochelle hasn鈥檛 raised any suspicions with her mum as to why she鈥檚 staying with her. She makes it clear that once they鈥檙e done, Rochelle might need to burn her bridges. Rochelle assures her neither her mum nor the village have a hold on her. She鈥檚 committed to the cause. She really wants to get home 鈥� back to Saskia and the others. Saskia presses her for access to the abattoir 鈥� that鈥檚 Rochelle鈥檚 part of the task. Rochelle says it might take time. Helen spots them and says hello, which worries Rochelle. Saskia reckons Helen will forget all about it. Right now Rochelle needs to focus on getting them into the abattoir.
