Joy’s been visiting Rochelle, who’s grateful for the peace and quiet at Mick’s mate’s house but wants get on with her life. She’s applied for a job so she can start looking for a place of her own. Joy repeats her offer to help with the deposit. With Joy’s car at the garage she’s booked a taxi, but to their horror it’s Rex who turns up. Rochelle panics about her bail conditions and quickly goes inside. On the journey Rex hears Rochelle’s looking for work and jokily suggests she shouldn’t ask Freddie for a reference. Joy asserts that Rochelle mostly feels bad about what she did because of Rex.

At the shop Lily’s angry with Joy for seemingly not caring about what Rochelle did to Freddie. Joy acknowledges Lily’s entitled to feel that way, but Lily storms off. Usha sympathises with Joy, who assures Usha she’ll pay the legal fees owed, but is grateful when Usha tells her not to worry yet.
Lily tries persuading Rex to continue playing for Ambridge purely for the love of cricket – she’s pretty confident Lynda won’t say anything, so long as the payments stop. Rex can’t afford to give up his taxi work though and suggests playing the odd Sunday instead, but Lily doubts Lynda or Freddie would agree. When talk turns to Joy and Rochelle, Rex starts defending Rochelle and Lily accuses him of taking sides. Rex doesn’t think Lily should be annoyed with Joy for something which wasn’t her fault. Lily gets it – they’re allowed to hate Rochelle, but not Joy.
