Alice fears she has gone too far, and Henry learns a trick or two.

Harrison bumps into Henry as he heads home from school. Henry asks whether he needs new players for the cricket team. Later at Bridge Farm whilst collecting Fallon, Harrison gets chatting with Helen 鈥� he wants to thank Henry, who has inspired him to get a youth cricket team going again. He鈥檇 even be happy to give Henry some coaching. Helen鈥檚 confused - Henry hates cricket!

But after a chat with Henry, Helen messages Harrison to accept his offer. Henry explains to his mum that he doesn鈥檛 know if he likes cricket - his experience of the game came from playing with Rob, which wasn鈥檛 fun. He wants to see if it鈥檚 different with someone like Harrison coaching him. Helen鈥檚 impressed and thinks that鈥檚 a great idea.

Harry visits Alice to tell her he has stopped drinking and is booked into a rehab centre this week. Alice surprises him with the offer to come in for some tea, which turns into dinner and a bedtime story with Martha. Harry fears that he won鈥檛 be able to stop drinking, but Alice reassures him. Harry feels so lucky to have Alice, although they know they鈥檙e not together anymore. But without saying it, there鈥檚 still mutual love. They hold a last hug for longer than either intended, and end up in bed together. As Harry makes to get dressed, Alice berates herself for letting this happen 鈥� she shouldn鈥檛 have kissed him! They cannot be together: it would jeopardise both of their recoveries. Harry says he鈥檒l go immediately, leaving a distraught Alice sobbing.
