David shows Jill his anniversary gift for Ruth - a bronze ornament of a calf and its mother. She thinks it's charming - he hopes Ruth likes it. Jill's busy making Christmas cakes for Fallon and Emma and the Ambridge Tea Room. Jill encourages a rather maudlin David to go along to the wine festival. Contract milker Matthew gets David to come to the cattle shed with him, where a calf has pneumonia. Matthew's apologetic, but David blames himself and says he thought Pip was on top of the situation - but she's clearly distracted, helping the Fairbrothers who are slaughtering their geese. David really misses Ruth and her experience. Jill reassures David that Ruth will be home this weekend - then life can get back to normal.

It's a pretty miserable affair in the shed at Grundy's Field as Joe helps with turkey plucking. Eddie feels this is the last time they'll be doing it. However, Ed has news from Oliver which shocks them. Oliver and Caroline are rethinking their lives and, for now, staying in Italy. They've offered the house at Grange Farm to the Grundys, to look after for them while they're away. Joe's stunned and, overcome with emotion, goes to talk to Bartleby. Clarrie warms up the shed and they play some music - Christmas is finally here.
