The premiere does a good job of cluing you in, though!
Also Tristan can now do vet stuff!
Siegfried and Mrs. Hall are inching closer and closer to acknowledging they are basically already married, and oh.
We are now definitely in World War II.
WELL GET THROUGH THIS.
James acts like hes ten anytime anything comes up about the war.
Planes are big and they go fast!
Who decided men should get blackout drunk thenightbefore they get married?
Do you know how many photos you have to sit through on your wedding day?
I am all for pre-wedding parties in the weeks leading up.
Siegfried is extremely put out that James has the nerve to get married, and during their busiest season.
Youll probably be fine.
Helen asks James if theyre sure they dont want Siegfried to say a few words at the wedding.
The country needed veterinarians to keep animals healthy to keep the food supply secure.
Maggie is now married to Arthur, who also wears sweater vests but seems much more responsible than Tristan.
I mean, that is very nice to offer.
(Okay, and this is where I thought the major milk crisis was going to come into play.
So I thought, Gasp!
But they drank infected milk and now they have TB!
But no, that is absolutely not it and none of the cows are sick.
Helen and James were just drinking milk.)
For some reason, Tristan was put in charge of Jamess wedding ring.
Why would you give this responsibility to Tristan!
I would give Tristan something to hang onto if I never wanted to see it again.
Just because he continues to wear excellent sweater vests does not mean he is a responsible holder of things.
James is unaware of all the ring drama, because hes been checking 77 cows for TB.
Theres one missing, though, so of course he cant go to his own wedding yet.
It smelled like manure.)
James discovers the missing cow, but its front leg is broken.
So James stays with the cow, even though hes not going to be able to help it.
Siegfried finally shows up, and essentially says James!
Also that the cow cannot be helped and is in terrible pain.
Its okay, Tristan!
Cows are extremely cute, even if they areruining the environment with their burps.
James gets to the church, where the small guest list includesTricki Woo, complete with embellished cushion.
I love that damn dog.
Clancy, the other good boy, barfs up the ring box, but twist!
Theres no ring inside.
So all the men failed at their one job other than be at the church.
Its very sweet and I look forward to Siegfried and Mrs.
Halls own twine loop.
What about Jamess ring?
Well, he doesnt have one.
I need a little sign I can nonchalantly raise while talking that just sayssexism.
Anyway, this is not a James condemnation; this is a cultural-norm condemnation.
On the way to their honeymoon, Helen tells James this is the furthest shes ever been from home.
Hahaha okay,Samwise Gamgee.
Hes a partner now!
I love my little veterinary 1930s family.
