Tom’s suspicions are raised, and Henry plays his cards close to his chest.

Henry informs his granddad that he and Khalil have a place on the cricket team. He wonders if Tony’s upset, but Tony’s genuinely pleased for them. Henry’s apprehensive about the match but Tony reassures him – they’ll all support him all the way.
Tom and Natasha speculate on the proposed extended family holiday. Natasha thinks it might be fun, though they agree it wouldn’t be something they’d choose to do. Tom wonders again where Peggy’s money’s gone. Natasha dismisses this – maybe it just ran out. Natasha looks forward to sampling Fallon’s cricket tea pies. She goes to collect Henry, who’s engrossed in his phone. He hurriedly puts it away saying he was looking at the weather.
The match is disappointing despite Henry and Khalil’s efforts in the field. Tony remarks that Ambridge seem to have given up. Zainab wonders when it’ll be over – at least Fallon’s pies were delicious. Natasha sympathises with Tom over the loss. Henry isn’t impressed with his play. He can barely hit the ball. He doesn’t think he’ll go in for the T20 next week. Encouraging Tony offers to give him some tips.
Natasha’s concerned over Henry hiding his phone earlier. Tom thinks it’s normal for teenagers to conceal what’s on their phones but Natasha persists. Tom offers to have a word with him. Tom begins the conversation awkwardly and Henry soon works out Natasha’s spoken to him. He assures Tom he wasn’t looking at anything inappropriate, repeating that he was just checking the weather.
