The PetroPellet is born. Animoil’s newly engineered product promises to increase food supply while decreasing dependence on foreign oil. But before the champagne is uncorked, an unfortunate viral video sends Animoil and the Industrial Food Image Bureau into major damage control mode. Ready to make an impression on her first day, Sophia volunteers to go after the man responsible for distributing the video. The way Animoil and IFIB see it, who cares what cows are eating if it helps feed more people at a lower cost? And what does oil have to do with all of it?
Chip appears on a morning show and mounts a petition for a Senate hearing on PetroPellet. But he’s up against a full IFIB offensive. Sophia and Chip meet for drinks and a battle of wits, but their night out may have consequences for both of them.
Chip manages to convince Sophia to visit his farm, where they continue their dialogue. As the Sustainable Family Farming Association struggles to keep up the fight, things take a dramatic turn when Chip is invited to the Megafarm, a mysterious and massive factory farm.
Things just got real. Zach shows his cards. Chip languishes in a cell. Mick and Buck are in celebration mode. With the stakes higher than ever, Sophia has to decide what she really stands for.
