Hazel befriends Jack Dyson, a shy, young airman who like her has risen from the lower middle class. Lt. Jack Dyson MC and Hazel Bellamy soon start seeing each other. They go boating, see a show and go dancing, where they kiss passionately. The day before he returns to the Front, Dyson goes to Eaton Place to say goodbye, but Hazel is at the canteen. Jack writes her a note, calling her his "only girl in the world".

Meanwhile, Georgina is now a nurse in France, along with her friend Angela Barclay and Jenny. James is now a Major, and when he arrives at Georgina's hospital, they spend the day together. When they separate at the end of the day, they kiss.
