Elizabeth breaks down and an old enemy causes trouble for Harrison.
Before the cricket Darrington鈥檚 captain Chris Mills texts Harrison to ask if they鈥檒l be dressing as the Spice Girls. Harrison texts back that Darrington are just a bunch of wannabes, but Alistair points out that the comeback would carry more weight if Darrington weren鈥檛 miles ahead in the league. They aren鈥檛 feeling terribly optimistic 鈥� especially as Barry has dropped out at the last minute, and been replaced by inexperienced Hannah. In the end Ambridge loses, by three runs. Alistair tries to stay positive 鈥� they can鈥檛 blame Hannah for dropping a catch. He reminds Harrison that there鈥檚 always next year, but Harrison鈥檚 pessimistic about his chances of getting a team together.
Johnny tries to persuade Freddie to come to the cricket, but Freddie鈥檚 not in the mood. He鈥檚 disappointed that Johnny won鈥檛 have time later for a gaming session. Later, Elizabeth and Shula try to persuade him to go hunting again. But they have no idea what it鈥檚 like being Freddie 鈥� constantly surrounded by people reminding him of what he鈥檚 done.
Elizabeth tells Shula about the row she and Lily had before she left. Shula reassures her that Lily will come round, but Elizabeth鈥檚 very worried about how obviously wrong Russ is for her. Shula鈥檚 already taken Freddie under her wing, but she promises to help any way she can 鈥� that鈥檚 what family is for.
