    Lynda and Freddie watch their newly promoted cricket team at nets, wondering how they’ll fare in the higher division. Freddie reckons enjoyment is the key to success, whereas Lynda maintains that setting high standards is key. She can see dead wood that needs clearing out, via a razor sharp selection policy. Anyone who doesn’t make the grade will have to be told. Later Lynda laments Freddie’s lack of discipline during practice, and declares his proposed list of top eleven players ridiculous. Lily assures her he’s joking – there are no women on the list for a start. But Lynda feels this is no arena for larking around. Freddie’s answer is they can look for another captain. Lily doesn’t think it’s a bad idea for her to be involved, and they settle on a role for her as director of cricket, in charge of selection. Helen’s asked Clarrie and Susan to the Tearoom for drinks and cakes. When pressed she admits she has something to tell them, but is interrupted by the untimely arrival of a lorry delivering a mountain of gravel to the wrong spot. The cavalry arrives in the form of Azra’s husband Akram, who expertly spreads the gravel, solving the problem. Helen’s grateful. She shares that she has a difficult conversation ahead of her with Susan and Clarrie. Akram’s sure they’ll be right behind her. They look like they all make a wonderful team.

    Emma tells Susan that she’s had a letter from George wanting her to visit him again. Susan’s thrilled for Emma, who can barely contain her excitement. Emma could take on the world if she had to! At the shop Jim asks Brad about being his apprentice scorer for the cricket. Brad quickly accepts and they arrange to go through the basics after Brad’s finished at Uni for the day. When Emma comes in Brad worries she’ll be angry with him for letting George down, but instead she tells him about George’s letter. She wants to know how George was when Brad saw him on Wednesday. Emma meets up with Pat and they discuss the next stage for their protest, agreeing that they need to look at successful campaigns elsewhere and get more people involved. At Greenacres later, Jim explains the arcane principles of cricket scoring to Brad. He tells Brad that it’ll be an honour to have him at his side. While potting yoghurt in the Dairy Helen and Susan discuss a report in The Echo detailing dividends and bonuses given to Borsetshire Water shareholders and bosses. Emma’s sure they printed it because of the protest. They also discuss the pros and cons of prison visits, before Helen waxes lyrical about seeing Henry driving a tractor. Helen’s good mood is punctured later though, when she tells Pat the deli she was hoping sign a new contract with has turned them down. With the accounts in such a terrible state Helen has no choice. She’s got to lose either Susan or Clarrie from the Dairy!

    While Akram starts preparing their evening meal in Lynda’s kitchen, Khalil is still off with him after events on Tuesday. When Khalil stops doing his homework, Akram tries boosting Khalil by telling him how brave he’s been. But for Khalil the point is that his cancer could still come back. And if it does, he doesn’t want to have spent his whole life being careful, following every rule. They end up having a big hug, admitting how much they’ve missed each other.Brad struggles at nets, but it’s soon apparent he doesn’t have any talent for cricket. Brad’s envious of Chris and Tom, who make everything look so easy. It’s the same for Tracy. Despite Jim’s reassurances, Brad reckons he doesn’t take after his mum at all. Then Eddie calls Brad, heaping pressure on him to do more work for George. After nets, Jim and Freddie discuss how standards on the cricket team have slipped following the winter break – and Brad clearly isn’t the answer to their prayers. Then Freddie thinks of something else Brad can help with, persuading Jim to take on Brad as his apprentice scorer.Later, Eddie expresses his disappointment in Brad in no uncertain terms, despite Brad telling him George doesn’t mind him quitting. Eddie perks up though when he hears George has some new business ideas. Eddie then sings Brad an unfinished rap song he’s composed about tractors and hi-vis vests. When unimpressed Brad doesn’t respond in the right way Eddie reckons George is probably better off without him.

    At Bridge Farm Helen’s hoping to generate some new business to start offsetting their recent losses. She’s keeping an eye on Henry too, after yesterday’s misadventure at the demonstration. Tony and Pat admit to being impressed by Henry and Khalil’s commitment to the cause, so long as it doesn’t become a habit. Pat is still up for the fight and Tony reluctantly says he won’t stop her. Henry is suitably contrite with Helen for going AWOL yesterday, thankful that she’s not too angry with him. He also mentions talking to Tony about driving the tractor. Later, whilst planting seedlings in the polytunnel, Tony and Pat are pleasantly surprised when Helen tells them she’s spoken to the insurance company. They should get enough compensation to at least pay for a marketing campaign and potentially drum up some new business. To Pat’s delight Tony starts to feel more positive. She pushes him to have another think about Henry and the tractor. Pat and Helen then watch with bated breath, while Tony gives Henry final instructions before letting him start the tractor engine for his first test drive.Visiting George in prison Brad notices his battle scars after a fight. George reckons he came out on top and that’s all that matters. Brad mentions the sewage spill, and fills George in on how the family are doing, before he confesses that he can’t run George’s business anymore. George is surprisingly chilled, mentioning plans for a new business venture. George then reaffirms his respect for Brad, but won’t divulge his plans just yet.

    Unknown to their parents Henry and Khalil bunk off school to go to the demo at Borsetshire Water. Tony’s still worried about Pat going in case there’s any trouble, but wishes her and Emma luck. Dressed as toilet rolls Emma and Pat join in with the chants while waiting for Borsetshire Water board members to arrive. They spot Henry and Khalil, who insist they’re doing the right thing by skipping school for a worthy cause. Nevertheless, Pat insists on calling worried Helen and Akram to let them know where the boys are.Later at the demo, Tony introduces himself to Akram, who’s concerned Khalil will miss an important medical appointment. They find Pat and Emma with Henry and Khalil, who are disappointed the board members haven’t turned up and it’s all rather low key. Tony and Akram take the boys away, just as Pat and Emma spot a protestor accosting a worker. It’s not the sort of action Pat feels comfortable with. But Emma persuades her that simply being there, making their feelings known, is important and worth doing.Henry apologises to Tony that he had to come and get him, and for upsetting Helen. Henry admits he knows Tony was the one who found John when he died. Henry’s happy to wait until Tony’s ready to teach him tractor driving. At the oncology clinic Khalil defends himself against Akram’s accusations that he shouldn’t have risked missing his appointment. Khalil hates being the sick boy, then admits how scared he is that his cancer could come back, despite Akram’s assurances that it won’t.
