Shula struggles to keep up appearances, and Fallon is on a mission.

It's the day of the single wicket, and Alistair and Shula agree that, despite their awkward living situation, they want to make the most of the day. Shula is surprised when Susan joins her to serve tea, substituting for Clarrie at the last minute. Susan's decided that she has a duty to protect Shula from what she sees as Alistair's posturing on the pitch. She reassures her that there must someone out there for her. Somewhere.
Fallon decides that the Tea Room needs to go plastic-free. She and Emma catered for an event yesterday and the mess of plastic left behind was appalling, especially as everything was provided by the tea room. Harrison is already sick of hearing about it by the time Fallon decides that their wedding will also be plastic free. At the single wicket Fallon gently teases him when he's caught out by Molly Button.
Having put up with Susan's misguided attempts to be "supportive" all day Shula finally snaps when Alistair arrives to offer her a lift. Susan attempts to snub him, but Shula graciously accepts. Shula and Alistair certainly agree on one thing - the breakup of their marriage is none of Susan's business.
