Kirsty looks to the future and the Single Wicket proves a sore point for Chris

At the cricket ground, Tom explains the basics of the single wicket to Natasha. They come across Kate with Hilda in a cat basket. She’s taking her to The Laurels for a trial run of some cat therapy for the residents. 
Taking a break from The Laurels, Kate gets to know Natasha. Natasha suggests they might find a way to work together. Natasha tells Kate about her and Tom’s honeymoon plans for a trip to Cuba. Alice joins them and Kate fills her in on Adam and Ian’s trip to Bulgaria. They’ve seen the latest baby scans and know what they’re having, but they won’t tell anyone.
Philip and Kirsty catch up about their dinner party with Tom and Natasha. Kirsty says that all the talk of Tom and Natasha’s success has made her doubt her own career. She feels stuck in a rut. Later, Philip tells Kirsty the buyers have agreed to pay the asking price on his house. They can sign on the dotted line for Beechwood, as long as she still wants to move in?
Tracy’s decided pre-match sledging might put Chris off his game. Chris tells Kenton about the bet he has on with Tracy. If Tracy wins, she gets a bottle of vodka, if Chris wins, she’ll buy him beer. Tracy misjudges a throw, and the ball hits Chris hard in an unfortunate place, shattering his box. With Chris injured, Tom wins the single wicket.
