- When Mrs Hall takes time off to meet up with an important person from her past, Siegfried immediately puts Tristan in charge of housekeeping duties, while he focuses on running the practice and educating a visiting work experience boy.
- Tristan reluctantly gets assigned the household, in Mrs. hall's absence, by Siegfried, who take son the surgery, James the patient visits and Helen her own family. Tristan manages surprisingly well and hastily turns down minding the schoolboy who was promised a day at the surgery, where he proves a doting pupil for Siegfried, who can demonstrating his parenting skills. Afterwards the brothers finally discuss how his Siegfried's wife's death complicated taking on the fatherly role. Mrs. Hall is as nervous as her son, now a Royal Navy sailor about to be dispatched to the fleet as war looms, stretched for time to discuss how her denouncing his theft to the police landed him in a reformatory he got out by joining the military.—KGF Vissers
- With unresolved issues in Mrs Hall's life as witnessed by her reaction to her recent date with Gerald, it is timely that she should receive a letter from Edward asking to meet, he enlisted in the navy, somewhat not willingly, meaning that they may not get another opportunity to meet again in some time, especially if war is declared. But as recent history has shown, Edward may be a no show if he, at the last minute, decides that he is still not ready to see her to confront their estrangement, which would be another blow to her. With she gone, she has left a message for the Farnons to tend to some domestic duties to be accomplished in her absence. While neither brother really wants to do the work, they each clamor to attend to their more regular duties around the business, which takes a turn with Siegfried forgetting about a promise he made. In the process, Siegfried takes on a role somewhat unfamiliar to him, at least one he has not had in quite some time, while Tristan feels pushed aside to those house duties. And James and Helen are spending time at the Alderson farm. Helen discovers something about Jenny, which makes her confront her role in Jenny's life, both in the past and the present.—Huggo
