George finds himself in trouble, and Freddie causes mischief.
Lynda and Robert both turn up at Lower Loxley to speak with Freddie and campaign on each other鈥檚 behalf for the Cricket Club Chair position. Freddie cheekily asks them both for a practical demonstration to help him decide who to vote for 鈥� he needs to see some cricket skills, starting with a warm up! They reluctantly join in, and Freddie sends them off on a brisk walk around the house before they take turns batting and bowling to each other. Lynda makes the stronger hit, but the ball hits Freddie in a very delicate area, so he goes away to recover. This leaves Robert to wryly comment that Lynda鈥檚 skill makes her favourite. She feels awful.
Jolene gets herself dressed up and Kenton notices how much more upbeat she is. She鈥檚 raring to go on Sunday and needs an Easter bonnet! Jolene even considers providing some musical accompaniment. She鈥檚 also been thinking about the event rules and is upping the ante with prizes. Kenton鈥檚 delighted to see Jolene throwing herself into it.
At the Bull, George can鈥檛 persuade Brad to bunk off his studies tomorrow and help him film Chris for his Socials. However, Brad is the one buying their drinks, prompting a suddenly sterner Jolene to refuse, as Brad鈥檚 too young to buy George鈥檚 alcohol. George鈥檚 backchat offends Jolene, and she threatens to throw him out. Kenton appears to see what鈥檚 going on and Jolene鈥檚 unhappy that he doesn鈥檛 share her vehemence. George continues insulting Jolene as she insists to soft Kenton that this isn鈥檛 just a slap on the wrist - both George and Brad are barred!
