==Plot==
Matt has been up all night lambing. Jack tells Joe that now that he's high up in NY Estates he can't get up early anymore. Amos is having trouble with the cash register draw not closing. The midwife checks over and talks to Pat. Amos is on edge after having till problems, but the till won't close, however it will for Henry. Caroline gets nervous when Joe asks to see some files. Amos can't get the till open but refuses to tell Seth that there's a problem. Amos tries to fix the register but makes the entire cash draw fall out. Jack tells Annie that until recent years that he hasn't considered having a family, but until last year he felt he was missing out. Annie advises Jack to stop thinking about the past and concentrate on the future. Matt and Dolly discuss the recent events and Dolly assures Matt they'll be almost forgotten memories at some point.
