Lilian and Kate catch up to discuss their worry about Alice potentially drinking again. Lilian thinks they should share their concern with Chris, for Martha\\u2019s sake, but Kate thinks they should talk to Alice instead, and put their concerns to her carefully.

Alice quickly realises what\\u2019s going in and contains her fury at their assumptions, and and her family turning on her. Alice is not finished with the conversation and makes them wait as she attends to Martha\\u2019s tea. Alice decides she\\u2019ll prove to her untrusting relatives that she\\u2019s staying sober \\u2013 they can come with her to her check-up with the doctor tomorrow morning.

Hannah makes an impressive catch and the Ambridge cricket team stands a decent chance today against old rivals Darrington. Jazzer thinks Harrison is too soft on the opposition as a skipper, and thinks a bit of \\u2018sledging\\u2019 is in order. Things seem hopeless as Ambridge go in to bat, and nervous eleventh batter Hannah hoped she wouldn\\u2019t be needed, but holds her own next to Chris. The pressure is on her for the last over, as they need three runs to win. Looking on, Jazzer and Harrison argue, with Jazzer insisting Hannah whacks the ball for glory. After a couple of sensible defensive hits, Hannah gets a bounce and sends the ball for four, securing the win.

Chris admits to Hannah that he was a bit off with her when he declined her offer of a drink, and suggests they go for one this week \\u2013 as mates, and to talk about the match. Hannah happily agrees to meet on Tuesday.
