In 'All Creatures Great & Small' Season 3' Second Episode, the “Honeymoon’s Over”
All Creatures Great & Small Season 3 returns for its second episode with James and Helen back from the official honeymoon, but never fear; they are blissfully happy. James, full of anticipation, drives home from a night call and dashes into Skeldale House and up the stairs to the attic lovenest. He’s hoping to catch Helen in bed, but she’s up and busy burning his breakfast. It turns out the partner getting cold feet about a new relationship is none other than Siegfried Farnon, who regrets his generous wedding gift of a partnership with James. The household is adjusting to the new living arrangements.
As proud as he is of making a partner, James is in for a rude shock. It’s payday, and he discovers his earnings have miraculously shrunk since he now receives 40% of the profits, and according to Siegfried, it’s been a slow period. He’s even making less money than Tristan. Following Helen and James’s departure (she’s going to help out on her farm, and he has a visit to a cattle farmer), Mrs. Hall, ever the voice of reason, suggests that Siegfried might want to engage James in the business since he is a partner, and share the delicate inner workings of the practice.
