Welcome Home

Shortly before Molly's birthday, she receives the good news about Alan's acquittal. Following the court martial, Conrad demands a different pilot but Alan insists he wants to carry on flying with the same observer, admiring Conrad’s bravery. Conrad is unrepentant and, despite being ordered not to look for trouble, orders Alan to fly slightly off-course in the hope of engaging the German monoplane. When Alan is tempted to disobey, Conrad threatens him with his revolver. Conrad manages to shoot down the Eindecker but is fatally wounded himself. Triggers is angry when Alan writes up the full detail of the incident, and insists on his rewriting his report, hinting that a commission may be in the offing. Mr Rudkin proposes to Molly. When she refuses him, he decides to join the infantry, anticipating the introduction of conscription. While teaching Molly to ride a bicycle, Harry betrays his own feelings towards her. Charles comes to tell Alan he had been granted a week’s leave and finds him writing to Kate; he warns Alan that she will treat him badly. On his return to Becket's Hill, he intends to stay for only a few days then go to London to see Kate, but, when he telephones her to make arrangements, she makes it clear she is not interested. Gossip and bad feeling against the Farmer family surface among some of the local people, and Harry and Alan get into a fight when local youths mock the RFC. On meeting Lorna again, Alan finds she has matured, and they begin to rekindle their relationship.
