Harry returns to Manchester.

When he finally plucks up the courage to tell Lois the truth about Warsaw, she disarms him by declaring her love.

Harry then travels to London where he’s dismissed from the diplomatic services because of his conduct in Warsaw.

Tom shocks Douglas by announcing he is now a conscientious objector, while in Berlin Nancy is frustrated by the growing power of the censor.

In Paris, Webster and Albert are deeply in love, but their joy is overshadowed by the growing threat of prejudice they face.
