Eddie may be fighting a losing battle, and there’s sabotage afoot at the Flower and Produce Show.

At the Flower and Produce show Kenton’s brimming with confidence about his apple and cheese pie, until he learns Jill has entered and can’t be persuaded to withdraw. Meanwhile Tracy plans a distraction, so Jazzer can dump his stolen sunflower in the Village Hall, under Rosie Archer’s name. Chatting to David, Eddie proclaims Will and Emma’s innocence over any wrongdoing. David admires Clarrie’s spectacular rose and laments Rosie’s missing sunflower, before Kenton repositions his pie on an adjacent table, so that it can be seen to better advantage.
Eddie then asks Usha for advice on getting a better solicitor for George, but they’re interrupted by the fire alarm, meaning everyone has to leave.
With people congregated outside the Village Hall Tracy’s concerned that Kenton’s gone back in to check the kitchen. Lynda reports that Usha saw scones on the floor next to the smashed alarm. Tracy confesses setting it off when she accidentally tripped and dropped her scones. Meanwhile, Kenton reports another disaster: the table holding most of the pies has collapsed. Only Kenton’s and a few others survived. Jazzer then emerges belatedly from the toilet, where he hid when Kenton came in.
Later, Rosie wins tallest sunflower, leaving David confused and Jazzer and Tracy playing innocent. Eddie presses Usha, wanting her to take over as George’s solicitor, but she declines the offer.
Proud Kenton takes the rosette with his pie. However, Lynda’s intrigued by a report that Kenton moved his pie before the table collapsed. She feels the integrity of the show has been brought into question and intends to discover exactly what happened.
