Ellie does some milking for Ruth and is a natural. David invites Ellie and her girls to check on the ewes. There’s a special Thanksgiving dinner at Brookfield for Faith and Chuck. It was Eddie and Clarrie’s idea and they’ve provided a turkey. And of course Jill’s baking is called on. Ellie opens up to Ruth about splitting from her emotionally abusive husband. She has taken the kids away while he hopefully packs his stuff and leaves. Despite the problems, Faith has had a wonderful reconnection with Ambridge. Clarrie and Eddie get an open invitation to visit them in America. Eddie feels sorry for Clarrie that he’s just a failed, daft schemer – but she wouldn’t have it any other way. Jakob joins the community effort and catches up with David and Ruth. He admits defeat in tracking down the scammers but learns what a hero Kate has been, looking after everyone. He and Kate finally reunite, and Jakob concedes he has been difficult. Kate is also apologetic, for jumping in and offering up his home. As Jakob admits he could have been more giving, he’s full of admiration for Kate’s natural generosity, and they agree that they are who they are. Having started the week unable to agree about where to go on holiday, Jakob declares he agrees with Kate’s idea of somewhere warm. But now she says she wants to try his suggestion, Finland. Faith interrupts them, as it’s time to pull crackers while Clarrie carves the turkey. Happy Thanksgiving!
