Chris is stressing at being several players down, including Harrison, against the Not Outs today. He persuades Brad to come back to play for the Battling Bulls. Chris is also anxious about his living arrangements, now that he, Martha and his Grandad Bert will be staying with Susan and Neil. Fallon is late for work at the Bull, and has a shock for Kenton and Jolene – she and Harrison have split up. Kenton and Jolene try to understand what happened, but Fallon admits that they just realised they can’t get back what they had. Kenton goes to see Harrison, presuming Harrison was up to something when he was away, or knowing that he didn’t love Fallon, and berates Harrison for stringing her along. But Harrison denies that and shows how down and sorry he feels. He feels a real disappointment to Kenton. Kenton implores Harrison to try and make things work, but it’s too late – Harrison doesn’t want to lose Kenton and Jolene as family, but at least Harrison won’t be going far, for the time being, with his new job role. At the busy Bull, catering for the post-match cricketers, Kenton reports back to Jolene – Harrison seems broken. Jolene asks Fallon to come and stay with them, but she doesn’t need taking care of and focuses on keeping busy in the pub. Jolene reflects to Kenton that Harrison and Fallon will change their minds in time, when it sinks in just how much they’re losing.
