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!

At Brookfield, David’s talking through the events they’ve planned for Open Farm Sunday. Ruth senses how concerned he is about security, even though they’ve got Rex, Ed and Will keeping an eye on things. While Ruth mulls over the details of the day and possibly having more “fun” events, David suggests a bag search on the gate, then admits he’s having flashbacks to what happened in the boardroom at Casey Meats and can’t help projecting his fears onto Open Farm Sunday. He wishes he'd been more proactive, despite everyone saying how fantastic he was, keeping people calm. Ruth sits David down with a coffee and does her best to reassure him, before suggesting it might be better to cancel Open Farm Sunday if it’s causing him so much anxiety. Alice’s self-laceration continues at the doctor’s surgery. Both she and Chris cover when Fallon appears. Fallon checks they’re coming to Harrison’s party tomorrow night and still providing the salads and playlist they promised. After Fallon’s gone, Chris and Alice confess they’d completely forgotten. When they see Azra she doesn’t think there’s anything obviously delayed about Martha’s development, but noting Alice’s concern she suggests referring Martha to a paediatrician. Later, after dropping Martha at nursery, Chris is relieved they’ve got the referral. But Alice can’t help worrying about the possibility of a delayed onset and there’s nothing Chris can do to help. Fallon calls with more stress about Harrison’s party, before Alice admits to Chris what she really wanted Azra to say was that Alice didn’t hurt Martha and everything’s alright.
