Alistair finds himself in trouble, and there鈥檚 a crisis at Brookfield.
David and Ruth spruce up Hereford heifer 鈥楬igh Heels鈥� ready for a wedding photo at the Brookfield Events Barn. Afterwards they sip some champagne given to them by the bride鈥檚 father and toast another successful Brookfield wedding. They agree that 鈥楬igh Heels鈥� would make a great show Hereford and David admits he鈥檇 like to do more showing as he gets nearer retirement. Ruth鈥檚 shocked he鈥檚 mentioned the 鈥楻鈥� word!
At the Vets Surgery Paul makes an effort with Alistair and surprises him by offering an apology. Although he鈥檚 been struggling it鈥檚 no excuse for the way he鈥檚 been behaving and deliberately getting under Alistair鈥檚 skin. Later, on a stroll through nearby fields, Alistair admits he hates that he鈥檚 been instrumental in Paul鈥檚 parents鈥� break-up and causing him pain. Both Alistair and Denise hated keeping their relationship secret from Paul. Paul鈥檚 appreciative, although it all still really hurts. They鈥檙e interrupted by the sight of Justin in fancy dress on a horse. They can鈥檛 wait to see George鈥檚 videos! Alistair takes a call from Ruth saying there鈥檚 something wrong with one of their star heifers. Alistair and Paul then head over to Brookfield, where they discover that 鈥楬igh Heels鈥� has a bunched up crisp packet in her cheek, which she could have choked on. Sadly it鈥檚 a problem Alistair sees all too often. She must have eaten some discarded litter. Afterwards Ruth comments that Paul and Alistair make a fine team, as Alistair takes a call from his boss Don James. Don鈥檚 heard about Alistair and Denise and wants to see Alistair in his office next week.
