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 (IFIB) into major damage control mode.

Chip appears on a morning show and mounts a petition for a Senate hearing on Petro-pellet. 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.
