Harrison has some making up to do, and Chelsea learns a few new tricks.

Harrison greets Fallon as he returns from church and they chat awkwardly, with Harrison apologising for leaving his bedding where he slept, on the sofa. Fallon's finishing up mowing the grass and Harrison's off to training ahead of the T20 cricket. Before he goes, he mentions Philip Larkin鈥檚 poem 鈥� The Mower. He offers to read her the last line but she suggests he send it to her instead.

At the Tearoom Chelsea isn鈥檛 looking forward to playing but Pat gives her a pep talk and some fielding practice, using a cheese scone. Fallon arrives and confesses that Harrison, likewise, isn鈥檛 enthusiastic: he鈥檚 a bit embarrassed about his bad grace and sledging in the match against Leyton Cross.

Tracy takes Harrison to task as he hammers in the stumps. He agrees that he should email the other captain to apologise, and say sorry to Pat. But when he tries to talk to Tracy about the team vice-captaincy she gives him short shrift. He tells her George doesn鈥檛 want the job and she agrees to think about it. During the match she鈥檚 on fire, bowling a hattrick of wickets to help her team trounce the men. Harrison takes the opportunity to seek out Pat and offer a heartfelt apology.

Fallon turns up with leftover cake Natasha has sent for the teams to enjoy. She agrees to stay for one drink as 'Tracy鈥檚 Tigers' lift the Mark Hebden trophy and Tracy announces her new role as vice-captain. Fallon tells Harrison she read Larkin鈥檚 poem and took hope from the ending: 鈥榳e should be kind while there is still time.鈥�
