Just in time for the bleak midwinter, we are blessed with a new season ofAll Creatures.
Hail to thee, cozy and comfortable show, replete with sweater vests and duck races!
Although were somewhat lacking on the sweater-vest front now that Tristans away at war.
Id like to make acontroversial yet bravestatement and say booooooo war.
Why does true love, i.e., Siegfried and Mrs.
Halls undying romance, never run smoothly?
On to the main action!
Said child then eggs Jamess car.
We will meet this troubled youth again!
(He is grumpy about both.)
Mrs. Hall is seeking a divorce after not seeing her husband for years and years.
Does this mean we have to call her something else?
Do I have to call her Audrey?
That feels so disrespectful!
Im not doing this until the divorce is finalized.
Helen ordered too much gauze, and Siegfried needs to talk to a man about a sheep.
Helen deals with Siegfrieds grumpiness with a pretty great attitude.
Maybe its because shes so warm in her wool sweater and her hair is so well contained in hersnood.
I love a snood.
Mainly because of the name.
If it was called a net-based hair container?
Not as into it.
Ladies and some gentlemen, do we like Shirtless James?
I dont know how to feel about this.
And why cant it work that way?
Mrs. Hall is so private!
This is horrifying for her!
Siegfried finds out shes working on her divorce papers back at the practice, and he issurprised.
Surprised because he says he hasnt considered her intentions before now.
Mrs. Hall confusedly says, Gerald?
YES, BECAUSE SIEGFRIED LOVES YOU, MRS. HALL.
We got a minimum of two nods to that this week.
Earlier, James says Mrs. Hall might be out with Gerald and Siegfriedlooksat him.
In like a like a way.
You deserve everything, Mrs. Hall.
Siegfried grumpily goes to a farm somewhere … snowy.
I maybe missed the discussion of why its snowy there but not anywhere else in Darbyshire.
Its in the hills?
Whatever, its fine; its just snowy there.
In the midst of this, we learn that the farmer is alone.
Siegfried asks about the farmers wife, and the farmer is awkward about it.
So the farmer is handling the sad sheep experience on his own.
Who could possibly help him?
Enter young Wesley Binks!
Binks is the one who egged Jamess car.
He also punches him right in the nose when James tries to look at Wesleys sick dog.
Wesley is a Troubled Youth.
The children have a wooden-duck race in the river and Wesley throws rocks at the ducks.
Stay away from me and stay away from my dog!
he shouts at James, postnose punching.
Its current and also really serious!
James finds out where Wesley lives and goes to visit him.
So James calls the RSPCA because Duke needs to be treated (distemper is infectious and airborne!
I dont fully disagree with him calling the RSPCA, but also, cmon, man.
So James convinces the RSPCA to leave and convinces Wesley he only wants to help Duke.
Literally everything works out!
Get outta here, Gerald.
Siegfried is finally going to write to Tristan, and James feels good about helping Wesley.
I love you, show.
