    Freddie’s looking forward to hosting the Academy Trust for lunch at the abattoir and suggests newly returned Rochelle takes a charcuterie producer on a guided tour instead of packing with her bad arm. Freddie promises her a security pass for the day with full access to the site. Once he’s gone Rochelle phones Saskia – it has to be today!Helen, David and Vince are all there for the lunch, while Rex shocks Rochelle by turning up for the guided tour with the charcuterie manager. Once the tour’s over Rochelle and Rex head to the Conference room where Rex joins Helen and David. Rochelle goes outside to find Saskia and the other protesters, including pushy Carl. But there are more of them than Rochelle was expecting and they’ve got balaclavas. She tries warning them off, but they’ve hacked into a big screen at Felpersham Shopping Centre, determined to live-stream the protest. Rochelle pleads with them to stop, but Carl grabs her pass and lets them into the building, shutting Rochelle out.The protesters storm into the Conference room, barricade themselves in, then handcuff Vince and Freddie. Rex confronts Carl, who threatens both him and Freddie with a broken bottle, before David assures Carl they’ll listen to what they have to say. Saskia states her case against animal agriculture to camera, picking out farmers as villains of the piece. As the protesters leave Saskia claims they’ve poisoned Casey Meats produce, before locking Vince and the others inside. Once they’ve gone Helen unlocks the handcuffs and remembers she’s seen Saskia before, with Rochelle in Felpersham.

    At Beechwood Tom and Natasha are worried about the disruptive effect Jack and Henry moving in will have on their family set-up. They’re not sure Helen is even seriously looking for anywhere else yet. When Helen appears she mentions several ground rules she has, which Tom in particular thinks might be rather challenging for them. Later, Tom checks in at the Packhouse, where Helen’s covering the veg-box packing for Adam. Helen gets irritated when Tom suggests a potential property rental for her, before leaving Tom to finish the boxes himself. Back at Beechwood later Tom apologises, then confesses about the vase Seren broke. Helen’s surprisingly phlegmatic though and offers herself as a babysitter so Natasha and Tom can go out tonight. Tracy helps Lynda with a belated tidy-up after the Cricket Pavilion was left in a mess, following defeat in the previous home match. Natasha approaches with her proposed options for teas and catering, with Lynda determined that Ambridge will prove its worth on that front at least. Later, Tracy promises Lynda the changing rooms won’t be left in such a state again and suggests Fallon as an alternative source for the catering. They then open a parcel containing their newly designed kit, provided by Vince, which Tracy loves. Lynda spots an old bat under a bench which looks like it might’ve belonged to the mystery RAF man serving in Ambridge during the War: Reginald D. Natasha then rings and assertive Lynda persuades her to offer her best tea at the lowest price for Sunday, promising it’ll be win-win for both of them.

    On his boat Rex encourages Rochelle to do her physio exercises so she can return to work, but it’s very painful. Rex then leaves for a meeting. While he’s gone Saskia turns up and tells Rochelle their protest group is ready for action. Specifically Saskia means Rochelle and Casey Meats, putting the pressure on her to return to work asap. At the Shop Zainab tells Joy how much Azra adored the new wedding photos. They chat about Jack and Henry joining Helen at Beechwood tomorrow, and how crowded it will be. Zainab mentions a possible job for Rochelle as front-of-house at a new vegan restaurant in Felpersham – it’d be much more her thing than the abattoir. Initially Joy doesn’t want to interfere, but changes her mind later and contacts Zainab to get the restaurant’s number.Joy then goes to see Rochelle on the boat and is supportive about her elbow and the cricket, before giving Rochelle the number of Zainab’s contact, explaining about the position coming up. When Rex returns he agrees it sounds perfect. Joy offers to bring over a vegan moussaka she’s cooking, plus a meaty version for Rex, for taking care of Rochelle – though Rex and Rochelle quickly assure her they’re just mates. Then Rochelle disappears inside to take a call from Saskia, who insists Vince needs to be present for their protest at the abattoir – and it has to be this week. But Rochelle makes it clear she’s not ready yet, so it’s not going to happen.
