At Lower Loxley Freddie’s rushing to get to work for the first big day of his initiative, hoping to persuade the local Academy Trust and their schools to use locally produced food, including Casey Meats. He’ll be giving local farmers a tour of the abattoir while Vince schmoozes the bigwigs from the Academy Trust. Lily is encouraging and wishes Freddie luck. But just as the tour’s about to start Lily calls Freddie - he’s left all his tour notes behind. Then Lynda texts, telling Freddie he’ll be cricket club captain as well as team captain after Tom dropped out – and there’s a long list of jobs to be done immediately! To alleviate Freddie’s stress levels Lily sends over photos of his notes and offers to cover Lynda’s cricket jobs for him. Freddie meanwhile conducts the likes of Eddie, Pat and Ruth on their tour of the abattoir. During this Pat and Ruth find time to discuss the hold-up over Kirsty’s house sale, plus the ongoing effects of the sewage spill and Pat’s determination to hold Borsetshire Water to account. After a successful conclusion to the tour Freddie leads everyone off to lunch and any further questions.

Eddie commiserates with busy Brad over what happened at the Pancake Eating competition then tries to guilt trip him into accepting a commission for a film promoting the use of hi-vis vests on farms. Brad can’t let George or the rest of them down. Later, Brad asks Lily if Freddie might let him go to cricket. Lily assures Brad, he’ll be more than welcome.

At Bridge Farm Helen’s hoping to generate some new business to start offsetting their recent losses. She’s keeping an eye on Henry too, after yesterday’s misadventure at the demonstration. Tony and Pat admit to being impressed by Henry and Khalil’s commitment to the cause, so long as it doesn’t become a habit. Pat is still up for the fight and Tony reluctantly says he won’t stop her. Henry is suitably contrite with Helen for going AWOL yesterday, thankful that she’s not too angry with him. He also mentions talking to Tony about driving the tractor. Later, whilst planting seedlings in the polytunnel, Tony and Pat are pleasantly surprised when Helen tells them she’s spoken to the insurance company. They should get enough compensation to at least pay for a marketing campaign and potentially drum up some new business. To Pat’s delight Tony starts to feel more positive. She pushes him to have another think about Henry and the tractor. Pat and Helen then watch with bated breath, while Tony gives Henry final instructions before letting him start the tractor engine for his first test drive. Visiting George in prison Brad notices his battle scars after a fight. George reckons he came out on top and that’s all that matters. Brad mentions the sewage spill, and fills George in on how the family are doing, before he confesses that he can’t run George’s business anymore. George is surprisingly chilled, mentioning plans for a new business venture. George then reaffirms his respect for Brad, but won’t divulge his plans just yet.…

Unknown to their parents Henry and Khalil bunk off school to go to the demo at Borsetshire Water. Tony’s still worried about Pat going in case there’s any trouble, but wishes her and Emma luck. Dressed as toilet rolls Emma and Pat join in with the chants while waiting for Borsetshire Water board members to arrive. They spot Henry and Khalil, who insist they’re doing the right thing by skipping school for a worthy cause. Nevertheless, Pat insists on calling worried Helen and Akram to let them know where the boys are. Later at the demo, Tony introduces himself to Akram, who’s concerned Khalil will miss an important medical appointment. They find Pat and Emma with Henry and Khalil, who are disappointed the board members haven’t turned up and it’s all rather low key. Tony and Akram take the boys away, just as Pat and Emma spot a protestor accosting a worker. It’s not the sort of action Pat feels comfortable with. But Emma persuades her that simply being there, making their feelings known, is important and worth doing. Henry apologises to Tony that he had to come and get him, and for upsetting Helen. Henry admits he knows Tony was the one who found John when he died. Henry’s happy to wait until Tony’s ready to teach him tractor driving. At the oncology clinic Khalil defends himself against Akram’s accusations that he shouldn’t have risked missing his appointment. Khalil hates being the sick boy, then admits how scared he is that his cancer could come back, despite Akram’s assurances that it won’t.…

It’s good news at Bridge Farm after Helen gets the thumbs-up to re-open the dairy. But the bad news is that their sales figures since the closure are even worse than expected. Meanwhile, Tony’s not keen on Pat going to a demonstration against Borsetshire Water tomorrow at a shareholders’ meeting, although Helen defends Pat’s noble intentions. Tony’s also concerned about Henry wanting to learn to drive a tractor. Later, in the Edible Forest Garden, Tony admits to Helen how the thought of Henry on a tractor brings back terrible memories of how John died. Despite Helen’s pressing Tony’s not convinced Henry’s ready for it yet. Susan and Clarrie are thrilled to be back working at the Dairy, especially when they find the brand new, bright pink wellies Pat and Tony have gifted them. Later, while enjoying just making cheese again, they reckon they’re ready for questions at the viewing window, even if they’re about the sewage leak. They talk about how Eddie’s drumming up more commissions for Brad to make George’s videos, though Susan reveals how concerned Tracy is about Brad neglecting his studies. Having failed to get a helpful response from Borsetshire Water Emma’s determined to join grateful Pat at the demo, even if it jeopardises her position as Parish Councillor. Emma has an idea for costumes they can both wear too. Pat then shows Helen some ideas for slogans to go on placards. Helen says she’s definitely with Pat in spirit. They both wish Tony would come round to supporting them about the demo and Henry driving a tractor, but accept it may take time.…

Playing football outside their Beechwood house with Akram, Khalil’s shot just misses Joy and Lilian. Akram apologises before disappearing inside to check on the workmen’s progress, while Khalil offers to try and repair the broken robot vacuum cleaner Joy is carrying. At Bridge Farm Tony is touching up the scenery on his model train layout when Natasha probes into the awkward atmosphere between Pat and Tony. Tony admits there’s an issue over Pat’s new-found zeal for campaigning against Borsetshire Water. Natasha is sympathetic to Pat but Tony remains sceptical it will achieve anything. Tony then asks if Natasha is hiding and she admits to putting something off that she doesn’t want to do. Later, Akram introduces himself to moody Kirsty, who curses her bad luck with her house while touching up some external paintwork. While helping Kirsty with this Akram talks about how the best laid plans can go awry. He always thought his family would return to Pakistan permanently one day, but the others seem settled in Ambridge – or at least they would be if they could get back into their house. In the meantime Khalil has taken the vacuum cleaner apart before confessing he can’t put it back together. But when they take the vacuum over to Bridge Farm Tony is able to diagnose the problem and fix it, to Joy’s great relief. Conciliatory Natasha finds Kirsty to apologise for her tone yesterday, but explains they really can’t shift on their position. Neither can Kirsty. Natasha doesn’t want their friendship to suffer, accepting that if the house sale isn’t meant to happen then so be it.…

Natasha tells Pat about putting in a reduced offer for Kirsty’s house on Beechwood, because of the risk that the sewage problem might happen again. Pat wonders, if they’re so worried about a recurrence then why risk it at all? Natasha insists they’re going ahead with the offer, before asking if things are okay between Pat and Tony? Pat insists they are, then mentions her upcoming radio interview. At The Tearoom later though, disappointed Pat tells Emma that Radio Borsetshire cancelled her interview. Pat’s determined to get the message out somehow, about the damaging effect the spillage is having on people’s livelihoods. At the very least they need to call out Borsetshire Water publicly and force them to respond. Kirsty tells Joy about the pressure she feels under to accept pushy Tom and Natasha’s reduced offer. Joy encourages Kirsty to make them wait for an answer, especially as they’ll be getting brand new flooring and units. Later, Natasha tries guilt-tripping gobsmacked Kirsty into accepting the offer. Kirsty gives as good as she gets, but Natasha’s not budging. If Kirsty won’t accept the new offer then they’ll look for another house instead. At The Dower House Joy confronts Lilian with the evidence of the broken robot vacuum cleaner, making it clear that she and Brian are going to have to pay for a replacement. Looking online they see it’s one of the most expensive models. Lilian tries to slide out of it, blaming Brian, but Joy assures Lilian that they’ll have the Gills to answer to if they don’t stump up.…

Standing outside the Shop Pat and Kirsty catch up about the ongoing effects of the sewage spill. Pat’s looking for more testimonials to add to their social media page, plus getting the petition more widely disseminated. Inside the Shop Kirsty tells Joy how much trying to sell her house is getting her down. She’s frustrated with Tom and Natasha, who seem to be holding up the sale deliberately. Then Lilian enters and confesses to snooping around outside Home Farm because she wanted to see what the owners had done to it. Lilian buys Joy and Mick an expensive bottle of wine to compensate for disturbing them. In return Joy offers to let Lilian look around inside the house while Mick is away. Can Brian come too, Lilian wonders? Later, Brian and Lilian agree sadly that there is virtually nothing of Jenny’s influence left in the Home Farm kitchen: it used to be her pride and joy. They are scathing about the Gills turning the house into an investment property. Lilian then finds gloomy Brian sitting in a favourite old haunt. He accidentally breaks a robot vacuum cleaner and they decide it’s time to get out of there. When Pat returns to Bridge Farm Tony’s grumpy with her for spending too much time campaigning and not enough time supporting staff in their struggling business. Tony despairs that nothing Pat or anyone else does will affect what Borsetshire Water do, but Pat disagrees. In a throwback to her younger days Pat thinks this could finally be her chance to make a difference.…

At the Tearoom, before the pancake eating competition starts, Zainab tells relieved Akram she was never going to take a job at The Bull. Brad meanwhile isn’t feeling great, following his starvation diet. Natasha introduces Zainab and Brad in boxing-match style with ridiculous nicknames, but then Brad collapses to the floor. Later, while embarrassed Brad recovers, Natasha desperately tries to find a replacement, but it doesn’t look promising. Before setting off in the Riley Jazzer confesses how anxious he is about going to this posh restaurant. Tracy susses he’s more upset about not going to the pancake event, but she’s not changing her mind. However, Tracy then gets a call telling her what’s happened to Brad. By the time Tracy and Jazzer reach The Tearoom people have started drifting away. Tracy insists on taking Brad off to feed him up – she’s already cancelled the meal with Susan and Neil. Seeing Natasha’s desperation Jazzer offers to take Brad’s place, but quickly changes his mind when he sees Tracy’s face. With a load of uneaten pancakes left on her hands Natasha has no choice but to offer them free to all comers. Back at Ambridge Hall Akram cajoles Zainab into making up with Azra, instead of fighting all the time. Zainab feels bad about the books and photos that were ruined by the sewage, but Adil has found replacements for some of the photographs at least, which Akram has brought back with him. When asked about moving back to Solihull Zainab admits she’d like to give Ambridge a try for a little longer yet.…

At No.6 The Green Jazzer moans to Brad about the posh dinner Tracy’s making him go to with Susan and Neil. But Brad has other things on his mind, including the pancake eating competition. Jazzer would far rather go to that, but Tracy refuses to change their dinner date to let him do both. Brad then tells jealous Jazzer he’ll fast before the competition to make sure he beats Zainab. The prize is as good as his. Akram fills Azra in on how Adil is doing in Pakistan, then outlines some ideas to get his business up and running. They share happy memories of biking together, before Azra shocks him with news about Zainab wanting to work in a pub. Later, they consider the idea of moving back to Solihull, amongst old friends. Azra confesses that, despite the sewage spill, they feel settled in Ambridge. She thinks Akram might grow to like it there too. Despite Emma’s best efforts the Tearoom has been dead all day. Both Pat and Emma hope Natasha’s punt on getting customers back with the pancake competition works. Pat’s frustrated that not many people have signed her petition about the sewage overspill. Emma suggests drumming up a bigger response with a media blitz. Later, Emma shows Pat the work she’s been doing online to publicise the petition, using photos of damage at Bridge Farm and adding links to the Borsetshire Clean Water Action Group. Even better, Emma then gets an invite for an interview on Radio Borsetshire – at last, an opportunity for their voices to be heard!…

Whilst preparing the meal at Ambridge Hall for breaking their fast, Azra disapproves of Zainab applying to work at The Bull, a pub. Lynda admits how tricky she’s found the fasting, but Azra appreciates the effort Lynda is making to share their experience. Azra then queries Zainab taking part in the Tearoom’s pancake eating competition on Tuesday. An eating competition is not really in the spirit of Ramadan, even if it doesn’t start until after sunset. Zainab talks Azra round, claiming she’s doing it to help their neighbours, who have put themselves out to accommodate her . Besides, Azra is over-catering with this meal, so what’s the difference? On a walk with Monty, after nipping into The Bull, Lynda tells Khalil how sorely tempted she was by Fallon’s brownies. Khalil extols mind over matter, before they compare and contrast Lent with Ramadan, coming to the conclusion that they are both testing in their different ways. Later, as they prepare to break their fast, the Maliks explain the meaning of the Arabic prayers they recite, when the doorbell rings. It’s Akram, Azra’s husband, who has finally come home. Zainab and Khalil are thrilled at the lovely surprise, while Azra admits she kept his return secret so as not to spoil it for them. Akram gives Lynda some traditional presents from Adil for her and Robert. Azra then takes Akram to see the house on Beechwood, but they can’t stay long because of the smell. It will take ages before they can move back in, but at least they do have another option.…

Lynda tries to persuade Tom to step down as cricket captain. He soon rumbles her, and Lynda admits Freddie’s come forward. She’s been so busy her wires have crossed and now she’s in a tricky position. Tom’s relaxed, suggesting they have two captains. Lynda’s not at all sure it’s a good idea, but Freddie’s on board. He’d be flattered to share the position with experienced Tom. When they get down to business Tom makes no bones about the fact they need to cut some dead wood from the team now they’ve gone up a division. When uncomfortable Lynda suggests they discuss some of the administrative duties, Tom gives himself the hands-on role, leaving the paperwork side to Freddie. Lynda prefers them to share this workload, but Tom’s discouraged when he sees the size of the risk assessment. Tracy spots Fallon’s distracted. Fallon admits she feels she’s stealing custom from Natasha. She wonders if she should speak to her, and later bites the bullet. To her surprise Natasha is full of sympathy for her, declaring she must be disappointed not to be able to fulfil her dream of a café at the EV charging station. She understands why Fallon feels bitter. Fallon protests, but Natasha thanks her for popping by and sweeps on. Fallon’s flabbergasted at Natasha’s entitled attitude. Tracy reckons the Tearoom took advantage of Fallon. Fallon agrees. If the Tearoom fails, so be it. She’s taking the shackles off. From now on she’s going to look after number one.…

Azra’s organising food and her children indulge in some low level bickering. Khalil doesn’t understand why he still can’t participate fully in Ramadan. He leaves to take Monty for a walk. Lynda feels for him. Zainab tries to cheer Khalil with the news that the insurance will cover their damaged tech items. Khalil can’t get past being excluded from fasting. Zainab assures him they’re all just looking out for him. Khalil comments that at least at his new school he’s treated like everyone else. Azra bumps into Justin and the subject of the sewage leak comes up. Justin sympathises. Azra mentions Robert’s emailed him on the subject, to see if he can help. Justin reckons there’s not much he can do. The liability lies with Borsetshire Water, not Damara as the developers of Beechwood. He suggests it’s up to the whole community to get together and persuade the water company to improve the infrastructure. Lynda has a dilemma – Freddie’s volunteered as cricket captain and she’d just secured Tom. Robert suggests she retracts the offer to Tom. Lynda will sleep on it. Concerned for Khalil, Lynda suggests she and Robert stop fasting. Azra feels it will make no difference. She confides that Khalil had leukaemia when he was younger, and it’s her need to protect her son that’s frustrating him. She knows she’s denying him his independence, but she can’t let go of her image of the fragile little boy he was.…

Things aren’t getting any better for Natasha as she worries to Joy about both the Beechwood house and the lack of returning business at the Tearoom. She’s missing Fallon keenly. She can’t help thinking that if she was there, they’d get more support. Joy’s not so sure about that; and it’s not like Natasha could have done anything differently. Natasha thanks Joy for the chat. Zainab bumps into Brad and asks if they can talk. After some initial awkwardness they agree they can’t avoid one another forever. They talk about the last time they met up; Zainab comments it’s actually a good idea to ask someone out early on. Brad thanks her for being nice about Chelsea’s previous matchmaking efforts. Both are happy to move on. Natasha approaches and Brad tries to escape but is forced by Zainab into admitting he can’t do the Tearoom promotional videos due to his workload. Zainab sweetens the pill by volunteering them both for the pancake eating contest. Natasha’s delighted. At the Bull Joy mentions her trampled flowerbeds to Lilian, wondering if she saw anyone else hanging about yesterday. Guilty Lilian offers her lunch on the house. Natasha’s amused as Fallon sees off some customers who were deriding the Tearoom. Lilian raises an eyebrow at Fallon’s attitude but Natasha declares it’s cheered her up. However her mood changes once she realises the Bull’s doing breakfasts. She hopes they’re not trying to take advantage of the Tearoom’s downturn. Fallon reassures her, but Natasha knows what she’s seeing. Miffed, Natasha leaves.…

Kirsty still hasn’t heard from Tom and Natasha about the house sale. Lilian ventures that their hesitation’s understandable given the sewage spill incident. Joy suggests giving them a nudge. Lilian’s intrigued to discover Joy and Mick are currently residing at Home Farm. Later she pays Joy a visit, taking Justin with her, on the pretext that she’s interested in an item in the garden. To Justin’s horror she’s soon asking if she might come in and see the Gills’ kitchen while she’s here. Joy cites the no visitors rule and relieved Justin readily complies. Lilian won’t be discouraged however, and pokes around the garden trying to get a view inside the house, setting off some garden sprinklers in the process. Natasha presents busy Tom with a single fairy cake with a candle for his birthday. Tom’s touched; he’ll eat it on his rounds. Natasha suggests some video promotion for their Pancake Day event. Emma agrees to ask Brad to do them. Later Tom and Natasha meet Kirsty. They tell her they need to get another drain survey done – the sewage situation changes everything. Moreover, they think Kirsty should pay for it. They can’t give her an answer on whether they’re buying until it’s done. Emma finds Natasha poring over some negative social media. With this and their rapidly reducing income, things are getting on top of her. Emma counsels the importance of keeping focus and tries to get Natasha back on track with Pancake Day. Buoyed by this, Natasha agrees and they start to work on a plan.…
