It's Sophie's 164th birthday, but only the ghosts may celebrate that number. She's sad anyhow, missing her beloved horse Splendour, who died of a broken heart after the sisters, which means it also became a ghost. Anyhow, the headmaster and Mr. Doyle preside over Living History day, when everyone reenacts a glorious day at the estate 150 years ago. Rebecca starts as the eldest daughters receiving suitors, enjoying having Christine among hers servants, although Jonathan and especially clueless David don't live up to Victorian courting standards. Hazle opts out of the sister role to join the bunch of convict laborers and inspires a revolt.
