Lynda needs a miracle and the pressure is on at the Bull.

Kenton is grateful to Joy, who in Fallon鈥檚 absence has taken over the task of providing the cricket tea for Ambridge鈥檚 match against Franchester. Kenton is then horrified to realise he has seriously underestimated the number of pies needed, before Joy comes to the rescue, cooking batches of mini Yorkshire puddings, which they will fill with what鈥檚 available in the kitchen. When Fallon returns unexpectedly to The Bull she joins in helping get the tea ready on time.

When Tom pulls out of playing shortly before the cricket is due to start Lynda bemoans their chances of success without him. Her attempts to find a replacement are stymied, before Harrison appears and Lynda corrals him into agreeing to play. Convinced she鈥檚 solved all their problems Lynda thinks Ambridge should win easily now. However, it鈥檚 a nail-biting finish with Harrison only scoring the winning runs off the last ball, but Ambridge have broken their losing streak. Overbearing Lynda then claims she was right to let Freddie make the critical decisions, but Joy and Will know it was her driving everything. Will is unhappy with the team鈥檚 general underperformance, plus having to rely on Harrison鈥檚 one-off heroics, and leaves the celebrations early. Everyone else though is delighted by Ambridge鈥檚 triumph against the odds, on both a sporting and culinary front. Joy鈥檚 mini-Yorkshires were a big hit and Fallon鈥檚 going to steal the idea for future menus! Joy modestly accepts the praise and assumes Fallon is happy too, now Harrison is back, before Lynda raises a toast to him.
