James finds an unexpected ally. Michael confirms that Danny has taken down his original message, but James points out that it’s too late. A furious James confronts Danny who insists that it was an accident and he never meant to cause trouble. But James bitterly points out that he should have been able to come out on his own terms but thanks to him, that’s now impossible. When James receives a text from his manager summoning him to a meeting with a County press officer, he fears the worst.
Meanwhile, Roy realises his friends are dingbats. When Nina presents her homemade bat boxes to the group, Herman, Dave and Farooq are begrudgingly impressed whilst Roy is proud of her efforts. When the bat watchers make derogatory remarks about Nina’s dress sense, Roy takes umbrage and resigns from the group. Brian steps down, too, out of solidarity.
Elsewhere, When Ken reveals that he and Claudia plan to move into ‘Stillwaters’ in a few days time, an excited Tracy starts planning a makeover for her dad's house while Peter wonders where he and Simon are going to live.
