Elizabeth breaks down and an old enemy causes trouble for Harrison.
Before the cricket Darrington’s captain Chris Mills texts Harrison to ask if they’ll be dressing as the Spice Girls. Harrison texts back that Darrington are just a bunch of wannabes, but Alistair points out that the comeback would carry more weight if Darrington weren’t miles ahead in the league. They aren’t feeling terribly optimistic – especially as Barry has dropped out at the last minute, and been replaced by inexperienced Hannah. In the end Ambridge loses, by three runs. Alistair tries to stay positive – they can’t blame Hannah for dropping a catch. He reminds Harrison that there’s always next year, but Harrison’s pessimistic about his chances of getting a team together.
Johnny tries to persuade Freddie to come to the cricket, but Freddie’s not in the mood. He’s disappointed that Johnny won’t have time later for a gaming session. Later, Elizabeth and Shula try to persuade him to go hunting again. But they have no idea what it’s like being Freddie – constantly surrounded by people reminding him of what he’s done.
Elizabeth tells Shula about the row she and Lily had before she left. Shula reassures her that Lily will come round, but Elizabeth’s very worried about how obviously wrong Russ is for her. Shula’s already taken Freddie under her wing, but she promises to help any way she can – that’s what family is for.
