Martyn’s eyes are opened at the golf club, and Fallon makes plans.

Zainab and Chelsea are back at the Driving Range with Martyn, telling him they’ve been following a female golf pro online. As Zainab prepares to hit the ball Lawrence appears and starts mansplaining how she’s going wrong. When Zainab hits the ball sweetly he scoffs it was beginner’s luck. Later, in the Club Shop, Zainab tells Martyn about Lawrence’s racism towards her brother. Back on the Range Lawrence gives Chelsea unsolicited advice on her stance, then criticises the way she is dressed. When Chelsea accuses him of being sexist and ridiculous Lawrence loses his rag. Lawrence then makes further offensive remarks and insinuations about Chelsea to Martyn, who surprises Lawrence by threatening to report him to the Club Captain. His behaviour will not be tolerated.

Chris and Fallon drink tea in the garden at Woodbine after moving his and Martha’s belongings in. Fallon lets slip she knows how worried Alice has been about Martha’s development and the reason for it. Chris reckons Alice is even more stressed now they’ve been told no-one can tell until Martha’s six. Chris is sure everything’s fine, but worries that Alice’s anxiety will rub off on Martha, even though he understands it’s just Alice’s sense of guilt coming through. Fallon reassures Chris it will all work out in the end, before admitting how tough the last week has been for her and how lonely she feels. Chris is sympathetic, drawing on his own experience, while Fallon looks forward to bonding with Martha over peanut butter.
