Ed and Emma are excited to see the litter of puppies. They are perfect and Ed can't wait for George to come and pick one out.

First pick has already been promised to another family, and they're away until the new year. Ed isn't happy but the farmer won't break his promise.

Leonie is devising a list of James's personality traits, hoping that might shed some light on their uncertain future.
