Mr Ashton recaps the first year's events and we see the lucky ones that are still left. Barbara is still living at home and is being persued by the hospital heart- throb. David is on 48 hours leave and goes to London to visit Grace Gould, but her husband returns from abroad and David has to leave rather abruptly, to his disappointment. He has another shock when he learns his best friend, Frankie has been killed in a air raid and this brings home to him the fact that he has made a mess of his own life - probably too late to make amends.
