Sandy hands her the letter and tells her to leave it in his drawer after she's read it. Tessa promises she will have sex with him if he shows her the letter. When Tessa asks Sandy about the response he deflects that he only got a personal letter in response. Sandy realizes he made a mistake to send the report but doesn't recognize the danger Tessa is in. Sir Bernard Pellegrin immediately writes an incriminating letter to Sandy saying that by acknowledging that there could be a risk of Dypraxa causing unnecessary deaths, the Foreign Office cannot claim ignorance when Three Bees announces the safety of Dypraxa, so the report must be buried, and Tessa and Arnold need to be kept under surveillance to further block any reporting of problems with Dypraxa. Sandy sends the report to his boss in London, Sir Bernard Pellegrin, who heads the Africa Desk at the Foreign Office.

The inventor of Dypraxa, Dr Lorbeer, upon discovering his trial has killed so many people, runs away and attempts to atone for the deaths by treating villagers in Southern Sudan. Three Bees, to prevent delaying the release of the drug and spending millions of dollars on refining the formula, covers up the deaths with the assistance of the British Foreign Office. KVH discovers that the "Dypraxa" drug is effective, but kills a higher number of people than would be acceptable. In order to get willing test subjects, KVH offers treatment for HIV at no cost.
