The penny drops for Lynda, and Freddie faces a dilemma.
Lynda can鈥檛 stop thinking about the piece of writing by Fallon鈥檚 Great Aunt, about the soldier who died. Lynda wants to write something herself for the D-Day event. A short drama perhaps? She comes up with three characters and considers Chelsea and Ben to feature. She鈥檒l ask Fallon to play her own Great Aunt but worries about Fallon. Robert tells Lynda to just ask Fallon what she thinks about the idea, but Lynda wants to just get something written and then check.
Lost in her work, Lynda asks Robert to deputise as Chair at today鈥檚 cricket, and to also ask Ben and Chelsea to pop over after the match against Loxley Barrett.
Freddie shares the latest with Chelsea from his stakeout over the stolen meat. Freddie feels bad about the thief, Jason 鈥� a nice guy with two kids to feed. Vince is dealing with the situation tomorrow, and Jason has no idea of what鈥檚 coming. Harrison turns up to gee up the players and Freddie and Chelsea tease him about his upcoming 39th birthday.
Chelsea delivers a great catch to complete the win, before Ben shares Lynda鈥檚 request and they head over to Ambridge Hall to find out more.
Meanwhile, Lynda asks Robert to read her work and be brutally honest. Robert is spellbound 鈥� it鈥檚 the best thing Lynda has ever written. Lynda鈥檚 delighted, but then suddenly panics about casting Ben and Chelsea as tragic lovers, remembering their own history. Ben and Chelsea arrive, as Robert reassures Lynda to just let them read it, and to have faith.
