Henry wants to follow in Rob's footsteps, and Joe has got plans for Bartleby.

Dorothy helps Fallon with the cricket teas during Ambridge vs. Netherbourne. They talk about Dorothy and Dan's Croatia getaway, as Dorothy frets that they will be spending a lot of time together. Fallon is aware of just how much she has to organise for the fete now Lynda has abdicated. At least Alice has managed to enlist a Brazilian football player at Felpersham city to open the event.

Joe's latest scheme entails fixing a pair of "magical wings" to pony Bartleby so they can draw more visitors to Elfworld. Bartleby throws them off and tramples them. He also kicked the head off the plaster wizard - one of Elfworld's best attractions.

Pat and Tony have a picnic with Henry at the cricket. Henry spots Rob and he comes over. Tony and Pat inform him that they have booked a cottage in Tenby for their holiday with Henry. Henry wants to go with Rob into the pavilion but Rob magnanimously tells him to stay with his grandparents. At the end of the match Rob returns with a present for Henry. It's a new cricket bat and ball. Pat worries that the ball is hard rather than a child-friendly sponge one. As Henry takes hold of the bat, he says he is just like his daddy. Rob answers, yes - they are like two peas in a pod.
