A vet is confronted with a dilemma when his stepson becomes attached to a monkey and his wife suggests they take the monkey back to Africa.

Danny is having second thoughts about the wisdom of uprooting his new family and ploughing all their money into a business venture they know next to nothing about.

The arrival of Evan and Olivia's father throws the family into turmoil; he is determined to take his kids back to England with him and threatens to go to court to get custody.

Rosie decides that she's had enough and is going back to Bristol; thanks to Evan, Danny botches an attempt to shoot a lioness with a tranquilliser dart.

A mix-up leaves Rosie thinking Sarah and Tate are romantically involved; meanwhile, the first paying guests to arrive at Leopard's Den, the Chapman family, are not impressed on their arrival, and things get worse when the generator breaks down.

Danny is concerned that poachers may be in the area when some of his animals die, but tests reveal anthrax is the cause and it could have infected Sarah, who falls seriously ill.
