At cricket against Edgeley, George shrugs off Justin’s tactical advice and Justin spots Alistair also seems grumpy – what’s up? Josh has pulled out of helping coach the Under 16s and Alistair has to admit to Justin that it’s because of Josh’s objection to Alistair’s affair with Denise. Alistair needs someone to help with coaching – Harrison would be perfect but isn’t available. Justin is a firm ‘no’, and Will can’t do the dates, but offers to ask George. Justin bets Alistair a tenner George will say no. After the team wins, Will works on George about helping with coaching, as it will help distract George from what’s on his mind. Defensive George says no and tells Will to stop controlling him. Justin’s left to collect his £10 from Alistair. Ed and Fallon want to give Emma a really special 40th birthday as Fallon is grateful for all her help at work.

Ed talks about how it will work on the day, upstairs at the Bull, and Fallon suggests that George walks Emma in to the pub, with everyone there and Ed ready to surprise her. Fallon and Ed raid costumes at the Village Hall and rehearse. Despite a wardrobe malfunction, Fallon’s convinced Emma will love it.
