With Nova, Seren and the boys out with Helen, Tom brings Natasha breakfast outside. They speculate on plans for the garden. They might be able to use some of the money from Peggy鈥檚 will. And if Helen uses hers for a house deposit, she could be in her own place by autumn. Tom wants to laze around gaming this morning; Natasha suggests they go back to bed. Later at the cricket they admire the play of Kalathma and Rex, who look like a killer pairing. Natasha praises Tom for his brilliant fielding before heading off with the girls.

The cricket sees a small celebration at tea as Ambridge has put on a great performance in the field. Lynda鈥檚 not impressed by the showy spread offered by the Borchester Fourths side and looks forward to Fallon鈥檚 little local pies at the next home game. There鈥檚 more joy later as Ambridge celebrates a win. Rex admits it beats driving his taxi on a Sunday afternoon. Lily incautiously lets slip Vince鈥檚 secret sponsorship deal, and Lynda detects subterfuge. Rex tries to take responsibility but Lily comes clean, admitting she and Vince were the ones who arranged for Rex and Kalathma to be paid. She points out how well it鈥檚 all working and begs Lynda not to tell Tom. But Lynda鈥檚 disappointed. It鈥檚 against the whole spirit of village cricket and the antithesis of what鈥檚 needed to build a solid, trusting team. Lynda tells Lily she needs an evening to digest this information and then she鈥檒l let her know what she plans to do.
