Tyson is drinking in his house. Annie comes in. "They found a severed hand. Why didn't you tell me last night they were searching the woods." Tyson tells her "Somebody got a bit careless. No point in fretting about it. A man plant's his seed and then decides he doesn't want to own it he should expect the worst." Annie hits him over the head with a chair, and they go to blows in the house loud enough to hear the fight outside.
Barnaby and Troy come by the Tyson home and find a bloody chair leg. Tyson walks into the kitchen with blood running down his head. The kitchen is destroyed. He tells them his daughter went wild. She broke the chair over his head. He tells them that Annie is "up the duff" with Gregory. Four months pregnant. But he didn't kill Gregory. Tyson tells Barnaby that he saw Colin Salter in the woods. Colin didn't like Gregory for collecting all them wild mushrooms. "Denuding the woods," Colin said.
