While watching the cricket against Greenbury Usha tells Joy she just needs to be herself at her interview tomorrow for the kitchen job at The Bull and she’ll be fine. On the field Henry is last man out, while Brad can’t stop sneezing. As the players come in for tea Clarrie appears upset when Helen asks how her dinner lady job is going. Henry tells Helen he saw some older kids at school being rude to Clarrie when she told them to sit down, but didn’t intervene because it would have made things worse. When Henry goes Clarrie tells Helen how humiliating the incident was. She always thought she was good at supervising kids, but this generation don’t have any respect. After the match Henry tells Clarrie that the only way to deal with those kids is to be firm and not take any nonsense. Clarrie is doubtful she can do that, but Henry reminds her what she was like at Bridge Farm, never a passenger. Do the same at school and she’ll be fine.
Brad tells Usha and Joy he hasn’t got hay fever, but Tracy’s accused him of getting the Ambridge score wrong. The Greenbury scorer, Terence, agrees with Brad’s tally, but both Usha and Joy remember a second four hit by Will while Brad left the score box to blow his nose and Terence took over. Later, Terence claims he missed the extra four by mistake and has rectified it. But the extra runs don’t alter the fact that Ambridge lost and Brad has hay fever!

Emma’s on the phone to George, who tells her about the Community Offender Manager he’s meeting today, then says he’s got a surprise for her when she visits later.

This becomes a wider critique of Emma’s parenting and life skills, leaving Emma fuming. Ed phones Emma, who tells him about the run-in with the woman, determined it won’t spoil her visit. When Emma tells George her news he’s distracted when the woman arrives and he then introduces her as Amber to Emma. Emma assumes Amber is the Community Offender Manager, but Amber corrects her. She’s George’s girlfriend.At Home Farm Brian gives Stella the cold shoulder, dismissing her attempts to explain why she didn’t warn him about Justin’s plan to convert half the Estate land to rewilding. Stella says she tried to persuade Justin otherwise, but Brian’s convinced Stella took her role on the Board for her own advantage. She’s clearly in Justin’s pocket. Trying a different tack Stella suggests Home Farm pursue other contracts to replace the Estate one and Brian reluctantly agrees. Then Justin arrives, asserting that his plan will be approved at a special Board meeting he’s calling. Stella sides with Brian: food production should be their priority. But Justin’s on the side of the planet, insisting the change will go ahead. After he’s gone Brian and Stella agree to put aside their differences to defeat their common enemy. This is war.
