## Plot

Maggie makes breakfast. She is glad that the back of Cameron Rich has been seen. Albert says he'll go and get the weekly shop from the Village Shop on London Street. At The Queen's, Larry is in his living room when he rings Lawrence York because he needs him to cover for him for an hour and a half in The Queen's Head. At the Lodge, Jake Keith has arrived and he is talking to Maggie. He tells Maggie that his father travels a lot but he thinks that he's coming to Amitel today. Maggie thinks that Jake's father is a nasty bit of work. Jake agrees. He says that he's horrible to Aidan. Maggie says Aidan needs to speak up for himself. Aidan receives a call from the woman who was serving drinks at the football match on Monday. She can't do it anymore because she is ill. Aidan thinks that she is skiving. He thinks that he hasn't got time for it all as he needs to go to Battlesden again today. Aidan texts Larry to get over to his house. Arthur is fishing in the stream by Ivy Cottage when Sonia O'Brien comes along. Sonia asks for a drink in The Queen's on Monday night. Arthur says that's a bit specific. She says she's busy all this week but she can do Monday. Arthur says that he has to play in the Amitel v Camitel football match on Monday. Sonia is sad. Arthur laughs nervously and lies that it was actually Tuesday and agrees to the drink. Sonia goes off with a spring in her step. Larry walks into Aidan's house. Aidan tells Larry the situation with the server of the drinks. Larry tells Aidan to ask Bernice as it's a woman's job. Aidan punches him to the floor for being sexist. In The Queen's, the Carters are having lunch. Lawrence York is serving drinks. Arthur tells everyone that he can't play at the Village Cup Final. Bernard furiously asks why. Arthur tells him that it's no business of his. Bernard snaps that it was the first chance of beating Camitel they had in over thirty years! Arthur storms out of The Queen's Head. Albert tells Maggie to ask Arthur why or they'll lose the Cup for the thirty-first year running. Maggie steps out onto Main Street and makes Arthur drop his bottle of beer. Maggie asks Arthur why he pulled out. Arthur replies that he didn't want to hurt Sonia's feelings when she asked for a drink in The Queen's on Monday. Maggie tells Arthur that he needs to get some ground and tells him to put Sonia straight that they need to win the cup or it'll be thirty-one years since they did so. Arthur agrees to tell Sonia that they'll go on Tuesday. Maggie tells Arthur that he's soft. She says that Georgia would have wanted to see Amitel win. Arthur is surprised to see a tear in Maggie's eye. Larry comes back into the pub and gets rid of Lawrence York. Lawrence says to Larry that he didn't get drunk this time. Larry asks Bernice whether he can serve drinks at the match on Monday. Bernice agrees. A few hours later, everyone is drunk. Bernice and Jimmy are the only sober ones. Albert flirts with Bernice and asks for sex. Bernice and Jimmy leave The Queen's. Sonia walks in and Arthur tells her that they'll have to change to Tuesday. Sonia storms off. At Battlesden House, Aidan and Jake are socialising. Aidan tells Jake they'd better go. Jake asks why. Aidan replies that his father is coming to Aidan's house in fifteen minutes to discuss Glasgow. Jake groans.
