Sully has something to hide Amy has something to hide Ashleigh, Felix Felix sorts Eugene What has Lynda walked in on?

Amy knows something owner-wise is coming and hands Felix a letter that has been delivered. Felix opens the letter to find the words 'Resign Now' written in that trademark handwriting. Ashleigh goes to collect Casper from the hospital, where he talks of how he and Eugene are back on speaking terms, and decided they weren't going to hate each other anymore. Amy gives Felix the owner’s instructions that his reason for leaving so suddenly is down to family problems in Germany, where he'll be heading back to. Felix refuses to sign his resignation letter until the £3M he is owed is in his bank account. Ashleigh calls Felix up on his claim that his relationship with Katrin was only for the children, and he reveals how she pulls the “abortion tale” to all of Felix's mistresses! Felix asks if there's still a chance for them, to which Ashleigh tells him to save it for Amy. Felix then takes out his letter and signs it. Wednesday night comes and Harchester face Man United at the Lair. Felix checks his account to find the £3M sitting there. Felix gives what will be his final team talk for the Dragons and Ashleigh questions what it was about, to which he says it was always her and kisses Ash. Harchester go out to face Man U, and leaving Alex and Ash to guide from the dugout, Felix places his resignation letter on Lynda's desk. Amy phones Dragonscorp to confirm Felix has gone. Harchester are struggling against Man U, and Ashleigh goes looking for Felix, coming across his letter on Lynda's desk. Felix is forced to explain to her the truth behind his deal - that the owner offered him a lot of money but he had to do things in the job, first sign the Rose brothers. Part of the agreement was that he would leave when he was told. Ashleigh demands he tell her how much they are paying him to walk out mid-season, because that doesn't sound like the man she fell in love with. Felix reminds her she just said she loves him, for the first time. In the taxi Felix hears the Man U game on the radio and asks to be taken back to the club. Half time comes and the lads are angry about how things are going. Felix suddenly makes his entrance to tell the lads that everything is still to play for out there, and a one-goal lead can be changed in an instant. Felix appears from the dugout and Amy is worried, taking a call from Dragonscorp to assure them she won’t let them down. Amy calls a gaggle of reporters including Sky Sports’ Tony Campbell, where she suggests they question Felix's future at the club, adding that his letter of resignation is sitting on Lynda Block's desk. The full time whistle goes and the Dragons are through. As the team heads in, Ashleigh pulls Felix into the physio room they kiss passionately. At the press conference the question is thrown at Felix about him leaving, which stuns Lynda, and he responds that if someone wants him to leave they will have to make him. Afterwards a shocked Amy tells Felix he doesn’t know who they are dealing with here. Lynda reminds Felix of the dinner with the sponsors that evening, but he declines saying he has other arrangements, leaving with Ashleigh. They get back to her room and Felix invites Ashleigh to move into his house with him. They pack her things and arrive at the Barrons, only for Felix to find the locks to his house have been changed. They manage to break in which, conveniently, draws Casper out. He learns about Ash moving in with the Gaffer, and reluctantly wishes her luck. When the alarm won't stop sounding they are forced to return to the Grange. When Felix's card is now refused, and his car later repossessed, he realises that the owners are acting on his warning of making him leave. Felix goes to the club where Lynda is hosting the sponsors. Felix finds Amy as she is giving his passport details to Dragonscorp and grabs her, yelling that she is behind all this. Amy pleads with Felix how she doesn't want to be doing this. Lynda hears the commotion and comes running to see if Amy is OK. Amy then suddenly tears her dress and crying hysterically, pretends in front of Lynda that Felix has attacked her. Notes: The Best: Felix ordering everyone out of the dressing room, despite there being ten minutes of half time left, when Eugene refuses to play and smacks him across the head, yelling it isn't about him but the badge of his club and his team. Eugene now shows he isn't so tough and scurries out onto the pitch. Quotes: Lynda (screams at kick off): "Come on Harchester!" Foreshadowing: At what first appears a frustrating cop out, with us not seeing the all-important truce called between Casper and Eugene, the scene is revealed in 9.29 The Precious. Continuity: Lynda refers to Harchester’s FA Cup win against Man United, six years ago [#2.76] Cass Clues #4: Also in 9.29's Casper/Eugene resolution scene, the yet to be seen Duval visits Cass set in between this and the previous episode. As Duval is around at this point, and Felix's Resign Now letter is hand delivered while Cass is still in hospital, it's likely Duval has temporarily taken the reigns at Dragonscorp and is the voice Amy is conversing with here. What Was The Score?: Harchester succeed in the third round FA Cup tie against Crewe, and win 2-1 in the Semi-Final first leg of the Carling Cup against Manchester United with goals from Sully and Jodie Carter.
