Rachel’s project comes nearly two weeks after the season five finale of All creatures great and small, which saw Siegfried enlist the help of his younger brother Tristan at the vet’s office after Carmody left. Meanwhile, James fell ill with a fever and during a hallucination was overcome with guilt over one of his comrades who died after his plane was shot down by enemy fire.

He later confesses his feelings to Helen in a heartbreaking scene and blames himself for what happened to his crew after he was deemed unfit to serve.
