All Creatures Great and Small Season 4 Episode 1 Recap

James (Nicholas Ralph), our devoted vet, starts the show off with a picture-perfect Easter drive across the Yorkshire hills. His quiet trip, though, takes an unexpected turn when he nearly runs over a boy and his dog. The naughty boy, who is subsequently revealed to be Wesley Binks, leaves a lasting impression on James’ automobile in an act of playfulness and cheek that portends their future interactions.
 Easter Celebrations: Feeling the full impact of Tristan’s absence due to the war, Mrs. Hall considers making a big life change: divorcing a spouse she hasn’t seen in years. The episode contains a tapestry of emotions, from Mrs. Hall’s passionate quest for personal liberation to the warmth of Rachel Shenton’s Character Helen’s assured management of Siegfried’s grumpiness.
Amidst the Easter charm, James runs into Wesley once more, but in a more difficult circumstance. The protagonist of the episode is the disturbed young man and his sick dog, Duke. The story takes an intense turn as James works through Wesley’s reluctance while trying to be helpful despite the boy’s animosity. Siegfried  (Samuel West) goes through a personal journey as he struggles with his brother Callum Woodhouse‘s character Tristan’s absence as well as his struggles. Siegfried’s character growth gives the episode substance, from supporting Mrs. Hall in her divorce proceedings to giving up tobacco for Lent.

The story takes an interesting turn in the last seconds of Episode 1 as James debates whether to report Wesley and whether to keep him away from Duke, his cherished dog. As James considers the idea of putting Duke to death by severing him from the youngster who loves him, the stakes are extremely high emotionally.
But things get more complicated when it’s shown how devoted Wesley was to Duke, even without compensation. Wesley’s sacrifices are highlighted by the great-grandmother’s testimony, which also highlights the close relationship between the troubled young man and his sick dog.
Unexpectedly, Wesley turns to James for assistance, showing a weaker side to his hardened façade. The epitome of veterinarian care, James gives Duke an injection and gives him instructions on how to treat the dog.   James gives Wesley a chance to turn his life around in the last moments of the episode. James gives Wesley a feeling of purpose and accountability by including him in the day-to-day operations of the animal shed.
