Did anyone else think we were suddenly going to have a return of Helens dad for the episode?
There he is, holding a lamb, and then poof!
He vanishes into the depths of lambing season, never to be seen again.
Or someone in charge really wanted to have a gruff man holding a lamb on-camera.
Either way, Im on board.
Where is the graceful embarrassment?
(Also known as humping up a storm.)
You cant justsaythings, just like you cant not wear a tweed jacket.
Speaking of which, there are some truly great tweed jackets this week.
There is also someone new at the practice!
I remain accepting but suspicious of Richard.
We tried that just last week with Miss Harbottle, and it was disastrous.
The practice is a delicate ecosystem and you cant just go around shoving new people into it all willy-nilly.
Unless that person is us, because we would protect and love everyone there.
Siegfried says hestands corrected.
It didnt feel like a cold day in hell, but here we are.
Speaking of, Richard specializes in horses, much like Siegfried.
Do we know Jamess specialty?
Well, one farty dog.
Mrs. Pumphrey is extremely distressed because her foster dog, Cedric, has something of an antisocial malady.
Again, I thought this meant the dog was humping everything in sight.
This is sometimes why you just want to say what you mean.
People will assume other stuff.
Wink wink, nudge nudge, in the language of the show.
Theyre both exhausted, but theyve decided to have a baby.
I know its technically no ones business, but a baby can be a huge deal!
Should we just say it now, by the way?
Or thinks she is.
He knocks over a whole table of cakes!
To me, they are best friends and roommates, and it feels weird when they kiss.
Animals: Theyre just like us to a distressing degree!
Maybe we shouldnt eat them!
But we haveso many billions more chickens than people on the planet, so I dont know.
Cedrics all fine now and hanging out with Tricki Woo (Trickiiiiii!!!
), although he did indeed knock over the cake table at the garden party.
But that feels like typical dog-comedy shenanigans.
The real drama is the wheezy horse.
Not the wheezing, it turns out!!
The men from the armyare running around doing training, and they are rudely leaving gates open.
Any animal could just wander onto the road, and lo, so it comes to pass.
James comes upon her and she has impaled herself on a fence post.
Spoilers: Teasel turns out okay, thank GOD.
Not like our Teasel!!
Teasel is a champion!
Wow, I completely blotted the Gerald and Mrs. Hall plot from my mind until this very moment.
Later, Mrs. Hall and Gerald kisstwice.
I would say Gerald is the Roman ofAll Creatures, but no one deserves that.
I did, however, knock a star off the episode rating because of the kiss.
I have tyrannies, and I will exercise them pettily.
Once again, no animals died this week!
Are we getting a reprieve?
Is this a whole new world where animals can run into sharpened sticks and live, no matter what?
And its up to the members of Skeldale House to find out whos behind it and why.
Not going to lie, I would love that.
But everyone has to keep wearing tweed.
