Preparations are well underway for Michael and Jo's wedding, but things don't go quite so smoothly at the buck's night. An aboriginal girl, Kylie Walker, and her uncle, Steve Murray, a United Church pastor, arrive in town and Alex is soon involved in a war of words. Michael spends his wedding day at the hospital with Kylie after she is diagnosed with diabetes while Frank has problems of his own, trying to round up a herd of escaped goats. Jo has a case of pre-wedding jitters, but everything turns out fine and she and Michael ride off together into the sunset, destined for their new home in Armidale. Steve Murray, the Aborigine pastor, tells an interested Alex of his need for a doctor at his settlement.
