Caroline Arless is out of debtor's prison and back home in Lark Rise, as the series based on the novels by Flora Thompson, and adapted by Bill Gallagher, concludes. However, she doesn't get the warm welcome she's expecting.
Queenie blames her for being absent when her young son died of measles and Alf is sceptical that Caroline has put her feckless ways behind her and that she is back to stay. Minnie, on the other hand, assumes that, with Caroline back to look after her children, it's only a matter of time before Alf comes to propose.When Minnie discovers that Alf can't contemplate marriage while his siblings need him, and while his mother is still getting herself into trouble, Minnie is heartbroken. Is she brave enough to stand up to the fearsome Caroline and take charge of her own fate? And will Alf ever feel free to cast off his burdens and embrace happiness?Over in Candleford, meanwhile, Thomas has returned from a visit to his sisters' to discover a cold and distant Margaret. She snaps at everything he says and criticises his every deed. What can be the reason behind her new-found loathing of her once beloved husband?

Elsewhere, Gabriel has finally completed his machine and, after mounting an impressive demonstration, farmers are clamouring to purchase his ground-breaking invention. Not everyone in Lark Rise welcomes the arrival of progress to the hamlet, though. Queenie, especially, fears what it will do to their simple way of life.Dorcas is initially thrilled at Gabriel's success, until she realises that it will inevitably mean his departure from Candleford. It forces her to look into her future and ask herself what she truly wants. But will she find the courage to reveal her deepest feelings and how will Gabriel respond?
