Chris flummoxes Lynda by telling her she’d make a great Chair for the cricket club committee, explaining that Tracy suggested her. Lynda humbly insists that Harrison is consulted, so Chris invites Lynda to the get together at the pub that Harrison has organised.Encouraged by Chris, Lynda makes her case for becoming Chair, pointing out improvements she’d like to make to facilities, using her Grey Gables connection and potential funding. She’d also make the Club more inclusive. Harrison’s delighted to nominate Lynda, with Chris happy to second. But unwitting Robert turns up and explains he’s here about the Chair position – Tracy suggested it to him. Robert and Lynda both insist that the other should stand, and realise they should continue the conversation at home, leaving Chris scratching his head and Harrison admitting he’d prefer Lynda.Harrison tells Chris that with his problems at work, his cricket captaincy and today’s gathering is a useful distraction. It’s a small affair but Stella and Hannah turn up, and Stella encourages Hannah not to turn to jelly around Chris. Stella opens up about how much of her attention Rosie is grabbing, and Hannah tells her to be honest with Pip and set boundaries. Hannah agrees to front up and ask Chris out, if Stella is honest with Pip. Hannah is true to her word, although Chris misses the hint when she gets chatting with him about meeting up one to one, and she ends up agreeing to some private cricket coaching. But a deal’s a deal, so now Stella needs to talk to Pip about Rosie.
