The unconscious Milo is found and taken home by Rhiannon Kate Ashfield, the town veterinarian, who ensures hes healthy before returning him to his car. In town Milo meets town barkeep Bryn Morgan Steve Spiers, who mistakes Milo for the towns new baker, as Leos property is a former bakery. Not wanting to raise suspicion Milo goes along with this, and adopts the alias Milo Shakespeare, inspired by a bust of William Shakespeare found in the pub.Milo stays in hiding while Bjorn attempts to track his location using a photo of the bakery left behind by Milo. With Leos efforts taking time, Milo commits to learning how to bake to fit with his inadvertent cover identity. However, unknown to him, Eggs has correctly if illogically concluded that Milo is really an assassin, but erroneously assumes that the bakery is really a front for his assassination business. Before long the rumor has spread throughout most of town, save for Rhiannon and a few others. Believing the rumor, local chips shop owner Rhys Edwards Anthony ODonnell comes to Milo and asks him to bake a cake for his domineering wife Martha Annette Badland, Milo completely missing the intended subtext. The next day, Rhys unknowingly leaves a gas burner open and unlit before he leaves for work, and Martha is killed by the ensuing explosion when she goes to use the toaster. Gwynfyds residents assume Milo was responsible, proving the rumors true in their minds. ........
