 Tristan and Sigfried have to treat Clancy, Mr. Mulligan s very large dog who again is "womittin". Mrs. Hall advises James to get on with it vis-a-vis Helen and warns him that he risks losing her, with Richard Edmundson around. James however thinks Helen s father doesn t think much of him and that overall, he s a very poor catch. Sigfried and Tristan are also concerned that James is too slow getting off the mark and decide to do something about it. James finally pops the question, but shudders at the thought of having to ask Mr. Alderson s permission. Mr. Biggins entertains the lads at the Rovers, courtesy of Tristan. Mrs. Dalby is worried about her herd of cattle and James can t come up with a diagnosis.
