Benton searches Fox Inn for surveillance gear

The hidden microphones—though not physically visible—are the theoretical focus of Benton’s search. He implies their presence through dialogue about 'bugs' and microphones, treating the inn as a potential nest of Zygon espionage. His fruitless inspection turns the idea of hidden devices into a catalyst for conflict, representing institutional paranoia clashing with McRanald’s belief in organic trust.

Before: Concealed within the inn’s furnishings and fixtures by Zygons, undetected by staff or locals.

After: Unfound, with Benton’s search ineffectually exposing the cultural divide rather than the devices.
