Episode 1: All Creatures Great and Small

Episode 2: The Unbearable Lightness of Being in Whyhope
While Penny looks to “find herself” at a rival hospital, Hugh puts his all into bringing the new clinic up to speed. Meanwhile, Sharna inspires Matt to take Whyhope beers to the world, and Ajax gets an extra set of hands to help around the farm: Tom.
Episode 3: Calamity Jane
Charlie organizes a fundraiser after her friend Kassie’s funeral, and Penny rejoins the clinic as a locum, with Hugh still very much in charge. Hugh is drawn to Sharna, while Hayley feels a similar pull to Tom.

Episode 6: Reasonable Doubt
Meryl is found guilty in court, and Ajax turns to gambling as a distraction from his marital problems, but it’s not all bad news: the clinic hits the KPI quotas necessary to secure their funding, despite a sabotage attempt by Penny, who knows that if they are successful, Hugh is likely to leave.
Episode: A Ghost in the Heart
