Wild at Heart

While the rest of the family resides in England, Danny and Dup work at Big Five wild animal park to raise money for a new property after losing Leopard's Den.

Caroline, Liv and Charlotte are keen to see their new home, Clearwater Farm. Their excitement turns to dismay when they discover the place is in ruin.

Danny finds a potential financial lifeline in a pharmaceutical company looking to fund an environmental project. It soon becomes apparent that Ed Lynch, veterinarian at Big Five, is competing for the same grant.

When a controlled brush fire spirals out of control and a cheetah is injured, Caroline helps Lynch operate on the animal and she sees a more sympathetic side to him.

Caroline's angry loyalty to Dup estranges the pair from the rest of the family. Meanwhile, Dup is coming unhinged by his belief that he's seen Christian Peeters' ghost.

When Danny is imprisoned for the murder of Peeters, Dup sets out to prove his innocence. Meanwhile, Ed's increasingly suspicious behavior makes Dup think he's harboring a dark secret.

When a beautiful new vet turns up at the clinic and claims to have a lion that carries the rare Barbary gene, Dup suspects she has an ulterior motive.

Everyone is surprised when Fiona arrives, claiming to be Ed's wife and seeking to reconcile the differences that led to their earlier separation.

As the Trevanion family's financial woes continue, Danny and Ed are refused an extension on their mortgage. Desperate to restore his relationship with Alice and be by her side when the baby is born, Danny makes an anguished decision about his future that leaves Dup stunned.

Strange things are happening at Leopard's Den as Danny prepares to leave for the UK. There's an invasion of frogs, an elephant has wandered into the kitchen and the cheetah is off his food. Meanwhile, Dup makes an alarming discovery about Ed and Fiona.

Dup learns he has a life-threatening heart condition. With relationship issues causing tension in the family and Danny unhappy about the forthcoming marriage of Rosie and her fiancé Dylan, Dup grasps at the opportunity for one last adventure to heal the rifts.
