As a result, Mrs Hall (Anna Madeley) advises her to take some time away from Skeldale, although that advice could bring some unintended consequences.
The official episode synopsis reads: "Helen feels redundant at Skeldale and a million miles from home. When Richard Alderson seems to need some help, she returns to Heston Grange.
"Buried family secrets threaten to tear their relationship apart as Richard refuses to let her muck in on the farm. Helen notices that calf, Smokey, seems unwell and tries to help him, but it only makes things worse with her dad.
