With time ticking on and still no sign of an heir, Edmund announces to his congregation that he and Helene are to leave Hunderby for a new life in Fiji.

Further details

With time ticking on and still no sign of an heir, Edmund announces to his congregation that he and Helene are to leave Hunderby for a new life in Fiji. Few people are happy about this, least of all Dorothy when she learns that she won't be venturing to the exotic climes but mute Geoff, now installed as Edmund's personal butler, will.

As luck would have it, the Freak Show is coming to town and, as Dorothy spots the similarities between the show's hunchback advertised in the paper to the one pictured in Helene's locket, she engineers a group trip to the show in the hope of outing Helene's dark past. Could Helene's secret be revealed when the housekeeper encounters the deformed John Whiffin?

Meanwhile, the pastor's wife and Doctor Foggerty give in to their simmering chemistry and embark on a passionate affair under the noses of Edmund and Hestor.
