All Creatures Great and Small (1978)
S07E05 Spring Fever
Episode Overview
The enigmatic Mrs. Donovan creates challenges for all three partners. Siegfried hastily categorizes her as "a kind-hearted woman who adores animals," but that changes when she begins meddling with his patients. From sheep and piglets to a wailing dog and a sleepy tortoise, her unconventional remedies seem endless. Meanwhile, Tristan faces a dilemma when his old college friend St. John shows up, needing a place to stay and a bit of cash. Can Tristan keep St. John's visit under wraps from Siegfried and the formidable Mrs. Alton? Also, the charming Rosemary Brocklehurst piques Tristan's interest when she brings in her tortoise, Esmerelda, who refuses to emerge from her shell. Perhaps Mrs. Donovan holds the key to solving the mystery.
