Four girls join the Women's Land Army: patriotic Joyce wants to 'do her bit', argumentative Nancy is there under protest, and sensible Annie joins so that her younger sister Bea can escape her abusive father. But Bea rebels against her sister's control and finds herself enthralled by a charming GI, Cal Gillespie; while at the dance, Nancy tries to get closer to Lord Hoxley.
Bea prepares for her wedding and discovers that Finch has doubts about her motives.
Finch hires trekkers, families displaced by the bombing.
Three months later, Annie is not dealing very well with Harry's death.
