Pip urgently needs help, and Jolene is called upon.

Pip's up early for her latest relief milking job. She admits to Josh that the farmer is giving her a hard time. However, she's determined to keep going. Josh realises that Pip's still punishing herself for the IBR outbreak. She should learn from her mistakes and move on, like he will with the stolen loader. And she shouldn't put up with so much grief for an agency job.

Later, Pip is delayed returning to Brookfield. She calls to say she has been kicked in the face by a cow. Ruth rushes to meet her in A&E, and discovers that Pip drove herself to hospital, while the farmer finished his milking. Pip is embarrassed when a furious Ruth calls the farmer. At least the doctor said there wouldn't be permanent damage. Josh promises to cover Pip's Brookfield work, but the timing is appalling- he still needs to find £3000 for the stolen loader.

With Josh covering for Pip, Jolene steps up to play cricket against Darrington. Harrison puts Anisha in to bowl, and Jolene makes a spectacular catch. Ambridge finishes only one wicket short of victory. Jolene reminds Harrison that without their own changing room the women might not be back next season. Harrison and Rex agree that they'd be nowhere without them.
