Kate takes the bull by the horns, and Tracy has reservations.

The Battling Bulls are playing The Trout, who are two players down. Brad suggests loaning them a player and Tom agrees, so the match can go ahead - but not Zainab, who鈥檚 too good. Brad offers himself, really enjoys playing and ends up on the winning side: The Trout. Lynda鈥檚 come to appreciate the lightness of pub cricket. She鈥檚 looking forward to the Women鈥檚 T20 World Cup.

Surprised that Clive actually turned up, Brad and Tracy discuss Bert鈥檚 departure with him, hoping that Bert will be alright.

Returning from Scotland, Kate finds Brian embarked on a new project: re-reading all his Dick Francis novels. Brian accuses her of stabbing him in the back, but Kate assures him their only plan at the partnership meeting was to try and reduce his stress levels. She hadn鈥檛 known about Adam and Debbie鈥檚 intentions. Kate then asks how Spiritual 91福利社 will be affected by the Partnership ending. Although he says it鈥檚 safe, Brian reminds her that if it wasn鈥檛 for Spiritual 91福利社, they鈥檇 still have the farmhouse. Offended, Kate refuses to take responsibility for the house being sold, insisting that was down to Brian poisoning the Am. Later, Kate accuses Brian of bullying, before he finally apologises. Kate tells Brian that his children鈥檚 actions come from a place of love and care for him. Brian though can鈥檛 understand why they鈥檝e stopped trusting him. Because he鈥檚 been behaving weirdly, Kate says, especially the way he鈥檚 mistreated Miranda. Brian retorts that everyone makes mistakes. It doesn鈥檛 mean he鈥檚 losing the plot, just that he鈥檚 human.
