David will not bend the rules, and it is a busy night at The Bull.

Josh hopes that David will claim the stolen loader on Brookfield's insurance, but David flatly refuses. Josh tries to change his mind by suggesting that he might just "find" the paperwork to prove he owned the loader. David points out that would add forgery to fraud. David would help if he could, but this time Josh is going to have to sort it out himself. 

The Bull is invaded by Darrington cricket team, who hope to intimidate Ambridge before Sunday's match. Josh is shocked that Kenton would serve them. Harrison rallies the Ambridge team and all their supporters to fight back. They start an unflattering chant about Darrington's cricketing abilities. 

Kirsty commiserates with Roy about yesterday. He almost built up the courage to tell Lexi how he felt about her, and now it's too late. Kirsty points out that there is still time before she catches her flight. But Roy doesn't want to make things any harder for Lexi. At the airport Roy and Lexi promise to keep in touch, and say an emotional goodbye. Later, in The Bull, Roy confesses to Kirsty that he regrets saying nothing. What if he never sees her again? Rex and Harrison try to get him to join the anti-Darrington effort, but Roy can't face it.
