The nightmare at Brookfield continues. Emma and Ruth are desperate with worry.

The fire is still raging at Brookfield. Pip quickly moves the calves from the shed in case the fire spreads. Ruth and Emma are still frantically searching for George and Josh when they hear their children's replies to their calls. George had sneaked out of the house to help Josh calve Gina. When they realised the barn was alight they lead Gina to safety. There is some trouble though, as the calf has become stuck and Josh needs Ruth's help. Mother and son work as a team and successfully birth a healthy heifer. 
There is more good news as the firemen have managed to control the fire. The police have discovered a petrol can in one of the hedges. The authorities will begin their investigations at first light. 
Ruth and David are dismayed the attacks are continuing, but everyone is safe so they check in on the new calf. Josh names her Georgina. George thinks this is the best night of his life. 
Emma goes to speak to the police about the man she saw, but she suggests she can't be a great deal of help, as she wasn't able to see much in the dark.
