Frankie is still over in London broadcasting radio news about the war. The building she was living in was hit by a bomb, and her friend, roommate, and fellow journalist, Harriet, was killed. Her news stories get kind of deep and personal, but her boss encourages her to keep them strictly news. However, she wants to broadcast about real people. She wants to interview people and tell real stories. She also wants to investigate what’s happening to the Jews. All the people and headlines insist that nothing serious is going on, but Frankie knows they are all being relocated, and denied rights, and she wants to figure out what’s happening.
Emma listens to Frankie’s broadcasts regularly, and she wants to help with the war effort, but she doesn’t know how to. Her husband, Dr. Fitch, goes to help deliver a baby. However, the mother of the baby dies during child birth, and Dr. Fitch feels like it is his fault. He wants to go join the fight overseas to feel like he’s doing something useful with his life. This really upsets Emma, but she doesn’t really argue with him, as she had just told him a few weeks before that she wanted to help with the war effort too.
Iris also listens to Frankie’s broadcasts, but she doesn’t really like them. She thinks Frankie is too arrogant. One day when Iris was working in the post office, Harry Vale came in to see her and brought her a gift. A few weeks later, they were at the movies together, he walked her home, and they kissed. Iris really likes him and he likes her too.
