As Director of the First Institute of Scientific Discovery and with great plans set out in front of him, Jimmy only really wants Eve to be his wife.

Aunt Isabel as always objects to the marriage but it goes ahead and the wedding is beautiful.

However the happiness is short-lived when Eve is arrested for murdering her father Abner Kinch and her fate lies in the hands of Jimmy.

The family is whole again when Jimmy returns home. Laura still wants a divorce but Ian Bowles returns and he now owns a share of New Moon. Emily comes up with the idea to marry in order to pay for Aunt Laura's divorce so she can retain rights to the farm. She tries to become a mail order bride. While she is writing it Teddy arrives, at first she ignores him, but when he climbs up to her window they go outside to talk.
