Februarys one of the worst winter months!

James is now off our screens, hopefully to return soon.

Halls imminent departure, and Siegfrieds claim to be good with plumbing (false).

We also have a cow in danger because where would we be without one?

Helen does seem to be very pregnant now.

I know the 1940s were a different time; I know that.

But seeing Helen pushing a wheelbarrow full of logs around in that state is stillstressful.

Stop it, Helen!

Also, who is making sure you dont gettoxoplasmosisfrom Oscar?

She and the baby are 99 percent going to be fine, but nevertheless.

Also, Oscar remains very cute, by the way.

I hope we get more close-ups of him next season.

Mr. Alderson insists hes fine, but he isnot.

He wants Helen to take it easy, but she also insists shes fine.

They should watch it anyway; its critically acclaimed.

Amid all this cow diagnosis, Smoky kicks Alderson, who falls into Helen.

After Alderson shouts at Helen, she returns to the practice (excellent boundary there, maam).

Helen lies down on some hay, and Siegfried uses a stethoscope to hear the babys heartbeat.

This feels like an evolutionary defect.

Remember those clear phones from the 90s?

Itd be like that but with organs.

And it was beautifully captured in this episode!

What a great show.

Helen decides to move back to the practice so she can be there as soon as James returns.

The practice is also easier for the midwife to get to, which seems important.

I can admit that.

I know it would possibly be a good move for her to move to the Lakes with Gerald.

They are also her family.

Youre leaving me, Siegfried says, stabbing her and all watching right in the heart.

Classic Siegs and Auds.

You know why?Her family needs her.

By which I mean Helen and Siegfried.

And eventually James and Tristan!

Hes still on a trial basis!

What a great way to go out, Gerald.

Now we just need the boys back.

See you next week when we celebrate Christmas in February.
