In a letter to Daisy, Edward suggests that she get a job at a munitions factory. Daisy, who is tired of doing the work Ruby would have been doing as well as sharing Edward's duties with Rose, sees an advert in a newspaper for an omnibus conductor. However, before Daisy can apply, Rose secretly applies and makes Daisy furious when she gets the job. Rose soon starts to work as a bus conductor during the day, and does her household duties in the evening.
Georgina finds that being a nurse is more difficult and less glamorous than she had thought it would be, and finds that she is only nursing sick old women. She also has to look after two new nurses, her good friend Angela Barclay and the fearless Lady Viola Courtney. One night they go to a party, but return too late and the hospital gates are locked. The following day, Georgina is told that her patient, Mrs Carbury, died overnight and was asking for her. She feels very guilty, but the matron does not dismiss her as Georgina has the makings of a good nurse.
Meanwhile, James is home on leave. Richard refuses to help him get back onto the front line from his current staff job.
