There is a crisis at Brookfield, and Helen brings a ray of hope.
Jill's up early and hears Johnny hammering on the door. A heifer has fallen into a ditch near the brook. Johnny helps Alistair and David rescue the heifer. Thanks to Johnny's quick reaction, she's only suffered a severe strain.
David and Alistair discuss Christmas. David's still hoping to get Josh a car. Alistair acknowledges that cashing in the shares in Brookfield has come at a good time. Shula wants to upgrade the riding school and he'd like to combine it with the surgery.
Despite his good deed, Johnny is uptight. Tom realises it's because Johnny failed his Maths and English exams. Johnny's annoyed. He really wanted some good news for his granddad.
Lilian is delivering Christmas cards. Helen updates her on Tony. He's making progress but it's slow. Helen feels bad that Lilian is off to rehearse Blithe Spirit. Tom thinks Helen should take the part back on. It would take her mind off things.
Helen interrupts a tense rehearsal to ask if she can resume her role. Lilian and Lynda are delighted.
Jill is cleaning mud from the carpet. David's worried it's too much for her. She's not well enough to be scrubbing floors. But as long as she calls this her home, Jill is determined to look after it.
