- With Tristan's encouragement, James asks Helen if she'd like to go to the local spring dance. But village resident Gerald's arrival with his injured dog, Rock, puts a spanner in the works. Meanwhile, Tristan worries that Siegfried is in danger of losing his edge.
- Colonel Merrick, whose estate is a major client in the area, complains about slow service, hence called rival veterinarian George Pandhi and expects a free second opinion, but pushes Siegfried's atypical patience too far, so the vets trio exacts revenge. Tristran gets a fairer share of own cases wit support from overburdened James and Mrs. Hall, who read a a latter form mother Herriot who practically accepted a Scottish job for him. She tries encourages James to consider staying for Helen Alderson, starting at the dance, but her ex Gerald Hammond snatches her away. Mrs. Hall herself bonds as nicely with a war veteran as his operated dog and the surgery's own.—KGF Vissers
- Diana Brompton is selling tickets for the annual Daffodil Ball, Tristan and James buying two tickets apiece, Tristan going on the fly to find a date, while he encourages James to ask Helen. With the latter, what happens with Helen may be an indication of if James' future is in Darrowby or back in Glasgow, despite he receiving news that his overzealous mother has already accepted the job in Glasgow on his behalf. What may also affect his decision is if Siegfried is willing to make changes to the practice to accommodate his wants. With Dorothy not returning to Darrowby anytime soon, Tristan also encourages Siegfried to pursue a seemingly willing Diana which brings up the differences in the brothers' mentality of what it means to go on a date. On the day of the ball, the three men making it to the dance on time is affected by Siegfried's decided division of labor, Tristan to accompany Siegfried on rounds so that he can learn directly from him, while James remains at the clinic. A backlog occurs at the clinic due to an emergency case of a dog having his paw caught in an animal trap, that unexpected case which may affect Mrs. Hall more than anyone else at Skeldale but for a different reason. And as Siegfried and Tristan deal with Colonel Merrick, who believes he deserves special treatment in his sense of privilege, and with the Dinsdales whose massive pig Buttercup needs to have the boil cut off her head, Tristan believes that big brother may be losing his mojo.—Huggo
