Lynda has to explain herself, and Harrison is in the doghouse.

Alistair has to deal with annoyed stud farm owner Sal Blakedown, who's turned up for the cancelled open day at the vet practice. She'd been impressed with Anisha, and wants to see Alistair at work so she can inspect his technique. Shula reminds him the equine business is important with the farming side looking uncertain. They reflect on Article 50 being invoked and the attitudes of their farming neighbours to leaving the EU.

Lynda's horrified to learn she's been clocked speeding. She admits she deliberately drove too fast through Darrington to prove no-one was using the speedwatch equipment. She reasons that someone must have been using it covertly, which is a breach of the rules. She has words with Harrison. 

Emma reports Ed's depressed about his lack of success with the Texel lambs. And the B&B weekend was stressful. She lets off steam to Fallon about money being so tight she can't provide her kids with proper birthday celebrations. 

The women stage a boycott of nets in support of Usha. In The Bull, Fallon tells off Harrison for telling Usha she was too old for cricket. Harrison protests he didn't say that, but Fallon reckons he'll have to do some serious grovelling to resolve things. Shula and Alistair look on; while Brexit might be tricky it's nothing compared to running the Ambridge cricket team, says Alistair.
