[[Jean-Paul Savarin|Sergeant Savarin]] shows [[Winifred Bambera|Brigadier Bambera]] around the new [[UNIT]] base in [[Central London]] when [[Louise Rix|Dr Louise Rix]], appointed by [[UNIT Central Control|Central Control]] as the new [[scientific adviser]], calls and tells her about goings on at the CSRF. Rix tells her that she needs to come and investigate, which Bambera does not appreciate, and she is pulled away from the [[payphone]] by security. Bambera and Savarin head to the CSRF to meet her and learn that Dr Andrews has gone missing and that research student [[Amy Flynn]] has died, although the staff seem unable to comprehend what happened to her. | [[Jean-Paul Savarin|Sergeant Savarin]] shows [[Winifred Bambera|Brigadier Bambera]] around the new [[UNIT]] base in [[Central London]] when [[Louise Rix|Dr Louise Rix]], appointed by [[UNIT Central Control|Central Control]] as the new [[scientific adviser]], calls and tells her about goings on at the CSRF.

Bambera, Savarin and Rix meet with Dr Grange and are told that the [[quarantine]] was apparently initiated in error and, in any case, would only be to protect the [[seed]]s. Bambera is content to leave the matter upon learning that Dr Andrews' funding for his [[pollination]] project was pulled and that he may have committed [[suicide]], but Rix insists on investigating the greenhouses where Flynn was last seen. | Bambera, Savarin and Rix meet with Dr Grange and are told that the [[quarantine]] was apparently initiated in error and, in any case, would only be to protect the [[seed]]s.

The trio find that the butterflies are missing and that there is a pile of clothes inside, but the [[bee]]s seem to be cowering and Rix suggests that they review the camera footage rather than enter. They watch as the butterflies are fed [[synthetic pollen]] and turn first into [[chrysalis]]es and then into caterpillars before biting Flynn, causing her to age backwards into nothing. Bambera is initially sceptical about what they have just watched but changes her mind after the caterpillars swarm around them and has the area isolated with a view to firebomb the building. | The trio find that the butterflies are missing and that there is a pile of clothes inside, but the [[bee]]s seem to be cowering and Rix suggests that they review the camera footage rather than enter.
