Fresh Fields

- Season 2

(1984)

William organizes a special getaway to mark their 24th wedding anniversary. He surprises Hester by taking her back to the hotel where he first proposed--but an even bigger surprise is waiting for them when they get there.

Hackles arise when William notices that Hester's fencing instructor--a known Casanova--is paying her quite a bit of attention. Hester, however, sees no cause for alarm. Only when she lowers her guard does she realize William might have a point.

Hester gets roped into organizing the church bazaar and concert while William plans to escape it all by going fishing for the day. Then a performer calls in sick.

A scandalous affair in the neighborhood gets Hester's creative juices flowing. She begins a new writing project, much to William's dismay. Meanwhile, Hester's father takes an entirely different kind of inspiration from the whole affair.

When William's secretary calls in sick, the ever-helpful Hester volunteers to run the office. She must get creative when an important new client shows up for an appointment and William is nowhere to be found.

Emma finally sets a date for her wedding. The church is booked, the jet-setting parents of the groom fly in, and the wedding party assembles for the grand occasion. But no one can make an entrance quite like Hester.
