While quietly watching Mary Carver's funeral, Sir Toby became aware that his son was alive and one of the super-soldiers when Ray tore through an army group after Emma Waverly. He made sure all [[Wilcock Institute]] records with his name were destroyed and tried to keep Counter-Measures from investigating, pressuring them into 'accepting' that Emma had killed the soldiers. Behind their back, he tried to contact Ray and get him to come in for treatment; unfortunately his lies had made Jensen believe he was 'compromised' and had gone to Templeton for aid, and Templeton ordered an army group to open fire on Ray immediately. | While quietly watching Mary Carver's funeral, Sir Toby became aware that his son was alive and one of the super-soldiers when Ray tore through an army group after Emma Waverly.

He finally admitted to his team about the programme and eugenics programming, and tried to talk Ray down from freeing the other super-soldiers at the Wilcock Institute clinic. To his horror, Templeton had the building gassed and Sir Toby has forced to kill an enraged Ray. Jensen had worked out that the soldier was Sir Toby's son but he obliquely told her to drop the issue, not wanting to admit to it in public and pretending he hadn't been affected. | He finally admitted to his team about the programme and eugenics programming, and tried to talk Ray down from freeing the other super-soldiers at the Wilcock Institute clinic.

A parliamentary inquiry was held over the Wilcock affair, forcing Sir Toby to step down. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sins of the Fathers (audio story)|Sins of the Fathers]]'') As an old hand with the establishment, he assumed it was a formality - everyone on it were people he knew - only to find it was comprised of new, up-and-coming politicians like [[William Heaton]] and he was being properly investigated. Heaton talked to him between sittings, telling him Templeton had suggested the inquiry shakeup and was after his job. The MP believed Kinsella was the better man for Countermeasures and would help him if he agreed to 'help' the [[Conservative Party|Conservative]] [[Sunday Club]] - Kinsella angrily refused. | |||
Rather than defend himself, he praised his team to the inquiry as "best of British" and that they shouldn't suffer. To Toby's surprise, the inquiry cleared him as taking justifiable action. Heaton told him he was considered the man for the job "for now", especially the job of keeping Jensen controlled. Kinsella remarked to himself he preferred backstabbing and scheming in Westminster to goodwill. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Changing of the Guard (audio story)|Changing of the Guard]]'') He later heard that many in the spy world had had his back over the inquiry. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Forgotten Village (audio story)|The Forgotten Village]]'') | |||
The Countermeasures team were glad to have him back after having to deal with Templeton, someone they considered inferior. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Changing of the Guard (audio story)|Changing of the Guard]]'') While Gilmore and Jensen believed he had the country's best interests at heart, Allison Williams remained distrustful of him and was willing to show it. Their first mission back together was to investigate a haunting at the [[St. Anton's Point]] tower block - something the Housing Minister had told Sir Toby not to do. He commented that he himself didn't agree with the tower block policy. With his team, he solved the mystery and stopped an unexploded bomb. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Concrete Cage (audio story)|The Concrete Cage]]'') | |||
Sir Toby and others were aware of presumed [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] agent transmissions coming from around [[Lower Burford]]. Despite that, he pushed Allison Williams to go there on leave when her father was injured. When it became clear in Westminster that the situation had deteriorated, he rushed down with Gilmore to contain the situation. The issue was down to was a Soviet satellite, [[Mauriner 7]], that had crashed: it was experimenting with weaponising magnetic disruption to drive people mad. As part of the investigation and containment, Sir Toby had a journalist beaten and terrorised. | |||
The crashed satellite drove Allison catatonic and an unknown female spy almost killed Jensen when trying to keep her away. Allison's fate - and the fact Sir Toby had known something was wrong in Lower Burford - turned Jensen against Toby. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Forgotten Village (audio story)|The Forgotten Village]]'') | |||
While Allison recovered from memory loss, Sir Toby led Countermeasures to East [[Berlin]] to investigate an alien incursion and a "[[Project Othello]]" run by brain surgeon [[Maria Jager]]. Relations with Jensen were fraught. Their West German contact, [[Stefan Lehne]], was an old friend of Sir Toby's but to his suspicion was starting to act obstructionist. While Countermeasures were in the east, Sir Toby worked out that Othello was a brainwashing programme and that Jager had been in the west - with Stefan compromised. When he attempted to enter East Berlin, Stefan was mind-controlled by the enemy into shooting a guard and Sir Toby callously left him to be shot while he fled into the city. Reaching Gilmore, he warned him that the "alien" had been a fake to draw Countermeasures out so Jensen could be brainwashed into an enemy agent. | |||
In order to let him escape, Gilmore let himself be captured near the [[Berlin Wall]]. Jensen saw this and, driven both by inherent distrust and the brainwashing, decided Sir Toby must be a Soviet agent - she reported him as a British spy to the border guard, and left him to be shot dead in the street. Meanwhile Templeton was part of the Othello plot and had brainwashed Allison into believing ''he'' was Sir Toby. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Unto the Breach (audio story)|Unto the Breach]]'') | |||
